In this mode both the AD and DA run on the internal clock. This mode provides the lowest jitter and
most sonically robust performance. External recorders (such as DAW etc) have to be synchronized
either to the AD digital outputs (any format: AES or DIOCARD1 or DIOCARD2) or to the
converter Worclock output.

This example shows 44.1 PCM, but any FS can be any selected, including DSD and 128x DSD. Also
instead of AES, any other digital input to DA can be selected, depending on the particular system
configuration. The unit will output on its BNC outs Wordclock corresponding to the sampling
frequency unless it's divided by using WCK button.

If the DA converter receives no selected digital in OR this input is not synchronous with AD clock, the
LED will flash and DA converter will mute."

In this mode signal is fed from AD to digital outputs and also to DA directly. This mode may be usefull
when conversion latency has to be minimized during the recording. It functionally corresponds to a
