Re: Sony PCM D50 digital input

["Scott Fraser" scottbfraser]

Recently the question came up as to whether the Sony PCM D50 resampled
the digital input SPDIF stream, thus potentially compromising the
integrity of a better external ADC & clock. In reading through the
manual now all the verbiage would indicate that resampling is not
occurring. Sony avoids specifically technical terminology, but they do
mention that 'sync' must be established for digital recording to take
place & that if sync is dropped the recording will stop. That tells me
they are in fact clocking off the incoming SPDIF data stream & that no
resampling is taking place.
