Re: How to go from Apple TV digital out to MTRX?
Quote:
What I am pointing out, is that the Apple TV can not be locked to an external source. This means that the digital signal from the Apple TV can not be synchronized with the clock of the MTRX, therefore you will have clicks in the sound. The only way to prevent those clicks is to use a sample rate converter which can compensate for the slight difference there may be in the clock of the Apple TV and the clock of the MTRX.

MTRX can lock to ATV, then there is no problem.

I don't want to use the inferior internal clock of the Apple TV to control the MTRX, so I don't see another way other than analog. I thought about trying this: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...hoC-EQQAvD_BwE In the end it's okay if my only alternative is analog. The Apple TV is a sideshow after all. I was just hoping it could be connected digitally without it being the master. Thanks for your input here.

Re: How to go from Apple TV digital out to MTRX?
I'm using a bunch of Behringer SRC2496 to connect Toslink equipped devices to AES/EBU inputs on AVID HD I/O's. These boxes accept WC and re-sync (and S/R convert if you want) the digital input to AES/EBU (and S/P DIF coaxial or optical). I use these boxes as digital Swiss army knives converting and splitting digital signals and I also use them as digital input selectors.
Maybe this could be a solution? Just send the optical output from the HOSA to the SRC2496, provide it with WC from your MTRX and send this re-synced signal by AES/EBU to the MTRX. They are cheap and I never had any problems with them. I don't use the 24 bit 96 kHz AD/DA stages, I just use the digital inputs and outputs on the boxes.

Re: How to go from Apple TV digital out to MTRX?
Darryl - yes, that should work, but I don't want the MTRX to be master-clocked by a consumer audio device such as the Apple TV. My guess is that the Apple TV's internal clock is nowhere near the quality of the MTRX. It's a Catch-22!
As much as I don't like their brand philosophy the Behringer device looks like it'd get the job done though.

Re: How to go from Apple TV digital out to MTRX?
Usually that is just sensible thinking.. but correct me if I'm lost but wasn't the original trouble to just get PLAYBACK from ATV

(I use an RME ADI-192. Optical in (2 channel), AES out, clocks to MTRX (master), with SRC turned on in the ADI-192. That way I can sum sources. Prior to having SRC in the chain, I used an optical to spdif coax converter with a Neutrik 75ohm to 110ohm impedance converter to hook to an AES input but then sources need to be set to switch and not sum in DADman. I also have a Dolby DP564 for multichannel decoding which can take an optical bitstream source and reference/lock to an external wordclock (MTRX as master) and output multichannel AES which feeds into the MTRX as a source.)

Re: How to go from Apple TV digital out to MTRX?
For sure, but PT everyday work setup needs to remain the same. I just want the ATV to be connected, simply for entertainment only.
