Tascam DA-20 MkII The Tascam DA-20 MkII detects clock frequency from the 328 S/PDIF output sample rate flag setting and not the 328 internal clock frequency (see page 5). Consequently the sample rate flag setting should be set to the same as the 328 internal clock, or if the 328 is slaving to another external source, to the sample rate of that source.
