Let’s do some calculations (always tricky in my case)
Playing 192 kHz is 1 sample per
0.000005208333333333330 s
If the clock has a jitter of 10 ns
0.00000001 = 10 ns
0.000005218333333333330 +10 ns
0.000005208333333333330
0.000005198333333333330 -10 ns
That’s pretty close to the size of the time step
If our clock has a jitter of 1 ps which I do think extremely low
0.000000000001 = 1 ps
0.000005208334333333330 +1 ps
0.000005208333333333330
0.000005208332333333330 -1ps
In this case the variations in the time step look more decent.
But in both cases is looks like out gear can’t play 192 kHz with the right timing.
Makes me wonder what happens if we start to play 384 kHz recordings
