With regards to what one likes -- it is up to the individual.
If you say you LIKE or prefer something -- who can argue with you?
No one. (At least you wouldn't think they'd try.)
BUT... strictly with regards to sample timing accuracy -- this is very MUCH something that is subject to measurement and is inarguable.
Because an ADC's internal clock is ALWAYS part of the process and must continually make small adjustments to its own timing in order to stay synchronized with an external clock, it is therefore safe to say that in the case of professional ADCs, a standalone ADC's sample timing will always tend to suffer from increased jitter when synching to an external clock source.
Again, some people may well PREFER that. No one can argue with them, if they do. |
I can agree with this!....thumbsup ..( from the technical stand point of the timing/jitter issues). but from the audible side, hearing is believing!..
..You know, you can't help but think about onboard stuff "should" be better since it has less distance to travel. ( not thru a cable) . Oh well, I've always been a big fan of components in a system as opposed to integrated. Just seems that one dedicated thing should work better than, one thing trying to do many things!..
