HDX2 + Multiple Antelope Galaxy clocking?

[django420]

Anyone on here that’s good with clocking? I got a Antelope Galaxy 64 (running over HDX) and a RND Master Bus Converter running as the master clock (WC over BNC to the Galaxy 64) but would like to add a Antelope Galaxy 32 into the setup running on second HDX-card. Whats best practice here when it comes to clocking?

Run the DigiLink compatible boxes together using Loop Sync. Set the Loop Sync master to clock from the external WC from the RND box. Or use WC out of the Loop Sync master to the RND box WC In. Your call, should be based on what is easiest, e.g. if you sometimes power off or disconnect the RND box you might want to have it as WC slave.

Similar questions have come up recently. https://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=430036 That thread may take you down rat holes you don't want to go near, but it's got some comprehensive comments, although in that case there seemed to be some confusion/starting desire to just over-complicate stuff, don't do that.

Any snake oil sellers claiming clocking one way or the other is better acoustically, have them prove it to you in double blind tests.
