Unfortunately, I don't have a real good description at hand for the specifics of how a master clock works with managing digital signals within or between components. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

BloggingITGuy Desperado Registered: 02/20/06 Posts: 446 Loc: Beaverton, Oregon	Other than the Integra Research RDC-7.1 what other prepros use Apogee for master clock? I love it that people are looking for features in a ~$1000 prepro that are in a $5000 prepro. Outlaw has to make compromises somewhere or increase prices. Although it would be interesting to see them make a no-compromise piece, I don't think I could afford it even with the Outlaw discount.
