Perform deep reclocking of audio signals using local or input clocks to further reduce jitter. For different audio signals, the listening experience of MODE 1 and MODE 2 will be different, and you can choose according to your personal preference.
CLOCK IN
INTERNAL (internal femtosecond clock) CLK IN 44.1kHz (44.1kHz word clock input) CLK IN 10MHz (10MHz clock input) When CLK IN is selected but a correct clock is not input, the system will still use the internal clock; When the mode is 44.1kHz, it only supports 44.1kHz input, and the 48kHz input cannot be used even if the audio file being played is a multiple of 48kHz.

The impedance of different clock BNC cables is generally 75 ohms or 50 ohms. If the impedances do not match, it will cause electrical signal reflection and then distort the clock signal! Please refer to the manual of the clock and clock cable for the specific setting to use.
