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
