Mani, I am sorry, but for a person who works in the marketing you sound too naïve or I say the OVERLY benevolent. That demonstration had no other purposes then marketing and BTW Michael Pflaumer of Berkeley was there as well. Those people are not folks who do audio for fun but they are heavy-core professionals and they know what they do. There were invited a number of dealers from all over US and they were “sold” to further promote the PC audio in their dally sales. That is not by itself a bad objective, even though I have a different view…
I think the reason why they use Pacific is because they record something in there. Pacific, has a very good recorder has a very “proper” feature letting the DAC clock to run as a salve from the A/D clock. That is THE VERY right operation mode and if I use Pacific as DAC havier then I would unquestionably use it. I have to note that the demonstration of recording and then instantly to play the same music in the same space is VERY moronic by nature and it is shame then they go so low to do it…..

What is the source of the signal, DAC of PC? I always would like the sores to me master and the load to be slave. It might be not right association but when I see a reversed scenario I always visualize salmon that swim upstream to lay eggs… Still, the validity of my sentiments might be greatly overridden but the specifics of a given DAC design… Somebody with knowledge how Pacific DAC works need to overview this… I probably need to call to Lynx people and to Pacific and to ask them. I more know Lynx/Pacific tandem as A/D. The Lynx/LavryGold tandem needs no clock slaving…
