YES!

This is an ideal configuration for me...

i've got a similar question (posted http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...62#post1313362 here to avoid thread-jacking) - are ALL clock signals the same format, or are they proprietary? is it the same data, say, that's embeded in the SPDIF data?

 

[gregeas]

Has anyone tried the Benchmark DAC1 with the Squeezebox?

I'm having a tough time seeing why the Transit or other solutions would be better.

The work clock has no format. It is simply 0 and 5V (TTL level) at the rate of the samplng frquency. Depending on the equipment you can sometimes also select multiples of the base frequency 2X, or 256X to which both sides have to agree.

The Motu Traveler has a standard word clock input.
However, the Linn Numerik DAC has a sync output that according to the manual otput 0-10 Volts on an RCA connector.

This smells proprietary on the Linn side.

You are absolutely correct in what you are trying to achieve. If the output from the Linn would be standard you would get identical playback quality to the Karik by lsaving the Taveler to the clock in the Numerik DAC.

I would give Motu a call and ask whether the input can take 10V. I have no idea whether the sync signal between the Karik and the Numerik is a standard square wave but another call to Linn might give you that answer.

Good Luck
