ok..
I have understood fully what the WC does, having played with the BIG BEN a while.
but what I didn't get was how the signal was affected, other than timing issues w/the clock.
in my experience, there was no A/D stage involved (this is on playback) so it was just a digital signal being fed to the master WC, who then sent that on down the line.
in this scenarieo..you are saying that you would send an Apogee two signals. one analog..and the other WC. the 1k would then do the a/d conversion ....yet bypass its own WC in hopes it will lock on and use that in its process before passing a stable s/pdif signal.
