Default Lavry DA10 Challenge On YouTube

You guys apparantly missed the text that unfurls when you click 'more'
on the descriptor.


It would have been helpful to mention that in you original
posting. There are actually some of us who have better things
to do with our time than hang around on YouTube.

Remember, I'm just pointing this out, I didn't
originate it. I have a Lavry DAC, and I think it sounds quite good.
This dude is claiming something about how the sample rate delivered to
the DAC chip doesn't change at all when changing from 'wide' lock mode
to 'crystal lock', indicating asynchronous sample rate conversion is
taking place. How this results in "operation contrary to the
manufacturer's claims" I don't get. I was hoping one of you could
shed some light. A scope certainly isn't the best device to make very
precise frequency measurements.


The scope is likely no worse than any other ordinary bench
method of measuring frequency. There is certinaly better
equipment available in a calibration lab, but not clear that
that is the point? Also not clear that "precise frequency
measurements" is even what is needed here or what may be
"important" to their "argument". Also not clear that they are
even observing or measuring the correct point in the circuit.

The whole exercise seemes of dubious importance, questionable
practice, and unworthy of further discussion, IMHO.
