will typically not suffer from this kind of problem due to

every device being slave to the same reference. Therefore

there will not be any chain of devices that potentially could

accumulate phase errors.

ADAT interfaces are typically more sensitive to sub sample

delays or phase offsets than AES interfaces.

System 6000 technical specifications regarding in and

output phase:
Digital Output Phase:

< 3 % of sample period

Input Variation Before

Sample Slip:

+27 % / -73 % of sample period
