As more and more folks are getting LS9 mixers I wondered if anyone had come up with a good solution for Analog "music" in Say from an Ipod or laptop (disregarding for a moment the usb playback ability in the ls9)
There is a Spdif IN and out which could be used for this but with a couple of issues I believe. One is that AFAIK the spdif in on the LS9 does not re sample or re clock, and infact it SEEMS that if you connect a Spdif signal this becomes the reference signal for the LS9 clock. I would be interested to see if anyone has a comment on this. It is for this issue that just getting a cheap and cheerful 50 dollar or so Analog to Spdif converter is probably not a good Idea
SO I wondered if anyone had found a simple A/d with SPdif that also had word clock IN so that the LS9 could be the master clock (or another stable source of clock) and then allow for these inputs to be used. Another possibility might be a simple two channel Analog to AES/EBU with external clock in, and then convert the AES to Spdif???
