SteadyClock FS - Reference Class Digital Clocking Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- In digital audio, the clock frequency is an essential factor, as it creates the correlation between the audio bits and the time reference. Unfortunately, the clock frequency is not always as stable as desired.
SteadyClock FS highly rejects jitter and handles all digital interface formats in an exemplary way and offers excellent performance in all clock modes for high-quality analog conversion.
Digital format conversion in RME products are done without any loss or degradation, and SteadyClock FS ensures your sonic image will never experience degradation. This helps to optimize recordings and mixes because the soundstage has more depth and clarity.

SteadyClock is one of the reasons why our interfaces and converters have the pristine sound quality they are known for. What other key technology would you like to know more about?
Also for the stability and driver support 👍
@@mimidhof2179 Thank you :-)
Show more about AutoRef! Multitone of a -30dB digital attenuation versus -30dB AutoRef attenuation. Should be fun to watch. :)
I would like to learn more about the DSP in Babyface. I've read it's also very unique.
And what's the difference in comparison of jitter values of parts per million and FS? What are they different with? And is Rubidium clock much more exact?
Best ending to a video ever 👍
;-)
Everytime RME puts out a video featuring a product I've purchased, it just reinforces my confidence in my decision to buy RME. Thank you.
Thank you :)
You have the most amazing drivers, and you have managed to make the audio system as seamless on Windows as with CoreAudio on mac.
No doubt about it!
The more I watch videos like that, the more I can justify RME prices when compared to cheaper options from competitors. Thank you 😊
Excellent coverage of this technology in your products. Thank you.
You're welcome :-)
30% of this video was beyond me but I stuck it out and I glad I did!
I recently purchased a used FFUC. A Presonus AB1818vsl supplies digital audio via ADAT. Some channels present scratchiness in the signal. This video helped me understand why.
Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this problem. There are many other mitigating factors.
I love my RME and now see the problem could be worse.
Brillant video. I love the ADI-2. Just sounds right. I'm not one who believes in only measurements to buy a product, but just so happens the RME ADI-2 sounds great.
Glad you like it. Enjoy your ADI :)
Thanks for the very informative and clear explanation!
Oh, thank you !!!! How long I was searching this video for. My LOve, RME... You made life happier.
Glad to make your life happier :-)
wtf this is amazing! Learned about jitter in school a few weeks back. Great job on recuding the jitter to basically zero
This is great bro
My DAC sounds great and works well :-)
That's nice to hear :)
very interesting! I've heard other manufacturers quote picos/femtos values, you call it sampling jitter, is that something you have control over beyond AD/DA chip selection? If no then the other manufacturers are just using jitter as a cheap / meaningless marketing term similar to some TV manufacturers quoting 720Hz refresh rate 4-5 years back!
Also in a dedicated DA, say connected via SPDIF, the output jitter would be totally reliant on the digital signal carrying a perfect clock without something like SteadyClock, wouldn't it?
Would love to see more of these technical videos! Maybe also about your preamps / headphone amps and their development background! You could even do a video on the FPGAs you use, without giving away too many secrets, of course!
Can jitter affect the quality of recording transients in a normal computer setup? What factors can make transients sometimes muddy and distorted?
So much milage out of our RME products. I read on a forum the other day on some person using your digital mixer in the unit as a summing mixer for his DAW. The shared results of the cubase mixdown vs. the totalmix mixdown were interesting. Would you consider this to be a practical use of your software and if that is the case can you make a video on this topic and how to set it up?.
This is why I choose RME
Hello questions I just bought the Rme babyface pro fs I'm using it for mixing and mastering in my home studio should I buy the RME ADI-2 DAC FS Ultra-Fidelity PCM/DSD 768 kHz DA Converter? As far as quality goes if I buy it would it improve the quality when it comes to mastering a track?
I understand that with the 800 series there was an LTC (timecode) option, is there any chance of integrating it in future firmware, I could see DURec being very useful for cart based location sound recording.
🙌
and what about you say for performance if i have a external clock like antelope isochrone? I run my ff ucx bnc (wc) and ff pulse16 via bnc (wc),thay are both connect via adat, and now i think to buy a adi 2 dac fs connect with spdif
Any difference between steady clock and steady clock fs with external clocking? Curious if the newer system would audibly reduce the jitter. Thanks
@RME Audio, please does the UFX+ have SteadyClock FS?
Can I expand babyface i/o with any ADAT expander or what is it the name of the exact product I need for this?
Where does my Fireface 800 sit with regard to steady clock implementation ?
If I had one device with Steadyclock FS (for example M-1610 pro) paired with another RME device without steadyclock (for example a RayDAT, or MADI FX) how would this affect performance? Would it be preferable to set the m-1610 pro as master clock?
Yes, this is possible if you want to use the best possible system clock.
What about midi jitter? Can it clean this up from our DAW to output solid reliable midi clock?
Not understanding what he was talking about gave me the jitters.
When will the MADIFace USB be updated with FS?
Does Fireface UFX+ have SteadyClock FS?
Conclusion? 👍
It's time for FPGA effects!!!
Absolutely it is! They can literally replicate full analogue circuits! Technically, it enables direct hardware replication! Imagine a dedicated box that used multiple FPGA to create Synths/Reverb units/Etc that’d be a game changer!
11:45 150 nano seconds of jitter...nothing...conclusion. 👍🏾
Question: how does the UCX ii compare to the UFX ii?
Are they same or is the UCXii the latest and greatest conversion?
I currently own the UFX mk1 and want to upgrade.
So what is the jitter level of my ADI 2 Pro 1st generation that I bought 1500€ and that you improved one or 2 year after?
I Maybe could sent you my interface and you change the converter to improve it too? Is this possible? I think that it should be possible, because RME is great!
Don't worry, your ADI-2 Pro is still a wonderful machine. ;-)
@@RMEAudio O ok great. But then no upgrade is possible for the 20 years of RME. Even if I pay for it?
3:13 "The signal is fed into an UFX+" - looks more like a UFX II to me 😄
As you can see on the input state, MADI is shown there. So it can't be a UFX II ;-)
Does the UFX+ have this technology? Steadyclock FS?
Its predecessor - steadyclock
@@igorzhidkov1957 no plan in incorporating the Femtosecond?
@@jeli780 I'am not from RME, but I am sure, it will be in their next-gen flagship interface like UFX3,UFX++,UFX+ FS or which name will be chosen;)
@@igorzhidkov1957 i hope soon
It's true that SteadyClock FS offers better performance compared to SteadyClock. BUT this doesn't mean that your UFX+ has an outdated or bad jitter reduction. In fact we have shown in this video that even a Fireface UC designed in 2009 has a BETTER better signal to noise ratio than a modern DAC with the AK4490 chip, which is one of the most sought after chips in the premium segment. Therefore enjoy your UFX+ as is it is - it's simply an amazing interface with excellent conversion.
It's great to be able to reduce the 150ns jitter to zero.
Who is the dude in this video? What is his name?
mäibi ju kän mäik jur films in tschörmän tu?
One of these things is not like the others..😁😁 whats up with the keyboard man..??
I have owned RME products for over 12 years. However, When I compare and listen to the signal processed by the Babyface FS to one using the Denafrips Iris D to D there is no comparison. The Denafrips Iris cleans the signal significantly more and turns the stream into a more coherant significantly clearer sounding track. Hence there is still room for improvement to the steady Clock FS.
Denafrips Iris is their least expensive D to D. They have the GAIA which is substantially better than the Iris. Also in the past I owned Auralic DA. It was also more detailed than what I here through the Steady Clock FS product.The Auralic and GAIA use OCXO clocks "Oven Controlled" clocks.
Hey Mathias grüße aus Brasilien 🇧🇷, bis heute benutze ich mein Fireface UFX und bin sehr glücklich 😀 damit DANKESCHÖN
