Network and USB
The unit locks to a Master Clock and controls data delivery
from the network, computer or flash drive.
AES and SPDIF
The unit and the source equipment lock to a Master Clock.
The source equipment’s word clock input must be connected
to a Master Clock output at the correct frequency.
The sync mode setting is stored separately for each input.
Using the unit in Master mode
When using the network or USB inputs, the unit automatically defaults to Master mode if a
Master Clock is not connected. If you prefer, you can set these inputs to Master mode,
ignoring any connection to the word clock inputs.
►
For more information, see "Setting the clocking sync mode" on page 35.
Using the unit in Audio sync mode
When using the AES or SPDIF inputs, you can set the unit to lock to the data stream from the
source audio equipment.
1.
Switch on the unit.
2.
Switch on the source audio equipment.
3. On the unit, choose the input you want to lock.
►
For more information, see "Changing the source input" on page 27.
4. Set the clocking sync mode on the unit to Audio.

For more information, see "Setting the clocking sync mode" on page 35.
Locking the unit to a Master Clock
To minimise jitter, you can lock the unit to a Master Clock. If the Master Clock has an available
output, you can use it to also clock another audio source, such as a CD transport.
1.
Switch on the unit and the Master Clock.
2.
On the unit, choose the input you want to lock to the Master Clock.
►
For more information, see "Changing the source input" on page 27.
3. Using two BNC cables, connect the
WORDCLOCK output sockets on the Master
Clock to the
WORDCLOCK input sockets on the unit.
4. If you are also locking another audio source to the Master Clock, switch it on and
connect the Master Clock to the word clock input on the source equipment.
5. Set the clocking sync mode on the unit to Word Clock 1-2 Auto.
►
For more information, see "Setting the clocking sync mode" on page 35.
The LINA Network DAC selects the appropriate clock input and locks to it.
