Just did a recording and listening test with JBR20 and 100Hz, 1kHz, and
10kHz sine tones digitally thru a Yamaha 01V console, and when the word
clock source is set correctly there are no strange tick-tick-tick sounds
here. However, the JBR locks on to the incoming S/PDIF clock only when
it's recording - not when it's playing - so one has to make sure that the
console acts as a slave to the JBR when playing, otherwise we'll get the
dreaded tick-tick-tick effect, which is caused by the difference between
un-synced clocks.

Performing the tests made me realize that it would be really nice if the
JBR's S/PDIF output could stay active even when it's not playing, because
it takes the 01V a couple of seconds to lock on to the JBR's S/PDIF
signal. Now I also notice that pausing the JBR shuts down the S/PDIF
output as well. Not nice.

Can the MAS be set up to allow the JBR to lock on to the incoming S/PDIF
even while playing, so that it can act as slave in sync with its master?

Speaking of which:

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Please refrain from commenting on it here.

Anyway, the MP3-encoded sine tones sound really good. Actually
surprisingly good.
