SPDIF vs WORD CLOCK for master clock

zulusound · 10th September 2008

Hey,
I'm trying to figure out if it would make a difference to use my word clock output of my Crane Song HEDD vs the spdif coax for the HEDD to be master clock for my computer's soundcard (RME 9652) for playback from the computer. I already have the spdif wired, but haven't yet used the word clock out for the master clock.

Also, the computer is quite a distance (about 35 feet) from the HEDD, is this an issue?

Thanks.
