Digi 001 and Rosetta

I'm running a CAD mic through a preamp then into the Rosetta for conversion to the 001. What is the best way to route my digital signal to Digi 001; SPDIF? optical? XLR? I'd appreciate any advice, mike

Me. I'd take the s/pdif out of the Rosetta. No question about it. Optical connections can be a real pain.

I run everything through my Rosetta via S/PDIF. I also use my Rosetta as the master clock. It seems to work really well.

Are you coming out of the Rosetta at 24 bits? Or is it 16? Can you get from the Rosetta to the 001 at 24 bits? Is this a desireable goal?

I'm kind of a fiber guy myself. I've been using fiber for ADAT transfers and haven't had a single glitch. Absolutely NO electrical or RF interference possible. The only thing with coax to watch is the cable length. I forget what the maximum length is, but it's not REAL long. [like definitely under 20 feet, and probably under 10] Fiber can be much longer than the coax for S/PDIF. Great if you have your computer in a different room. For 6 feet of distance, I don't think you'll notice much difference. mrmatta, wouldn't you HAVE to clock to the Rosetta, since it's the input device? You'd get clicks otherwise, wouldn't you? ------------------ LW
