    Pretend all those clock options don't exist. What @Clemmaster said: Use the internal clock.

    So every time you stream a file that has a different sample rate - let's say some album from TIDAL is only available to stream in 24/44.1 while another is available at Max quality so it goes up to 192 - you're turning the sample rate knob manually to match it?

    I meant external. Whatever mode is least fuss and makes it work just like a regular DAC where the clock is embedded in the SPDIF signal from the source.

    EDIT: I think it’s Digital In

    Just buy it and figure it out. No need for excessive min-max theorycrafting beforehand.

    Re-reading this thread, I'm glad for how distoriton surface makes understanding stuff like this much more intuitive by adding frquency scale. Don't suppose revisiting some old favourites from across the years might be on the itinerary?

    AFAIK, Marv doesn’t own a B2 anymore.

    I’m selling mine. If @purr1n can do this very quickly, I can ship mine to him with the BOPA1 and BOPA8 opamps.
