Huh. What i'm looking at purchasing are a bunch of these
https://www.genelec.com/studio-monitors/sam-studio-monitors/8430a-ip-sam-st…
for an ambisonic setup. They have a Ravenna input and they can be run in
mono or stereo. Looking at the manual (
https://www.genelec.com/sites/default/files/media/Studio%20monitors/SAM%20S…
) it states "There are some requirements for the AE67 network. The network
must run a clock source supporting the Precision Time Protocol according to
the format defined in IEEE 1588-2008. Several audio sources and media IP
switch devices can act as PTP clock sources for the network. It is also
useful to make sure that the IP switches delivering the audio streams have
been configured to prioritize the PTP clock messages and the RTP audio
streams over other traffic."
From what you're saying i'd need to output the
software stream from my
computer using a secondary ethernet port into a ptp router
then into my
speakers.
Why would i need to buy an expensive router? Why not just build my own
router using http://linuxptp.sourceforge.net/ or
https://github.com/ptpd/ptpd
How does Jack2 (dbus) fit into all of this?
It seems like the ptp software above can connect multiple computers, so i
could just start out with a mini-pc with a 4 jack ethernet card and add
more mini-computers as i need to yes?
Or am i completely confused?
Thanks

PTP can also be run in software timestamping mode, hardware timestamping

to sync your internal audio card to an external
ntp server. This
accuracy pretty
much requires a HW ntp server. As I said the intel i210 ethernet cards at
$60-ish seems to be about the cheapest route.
It think it should be PTP [1] instead of NTP above, the latter is not
accurate
enough.
will be
more accurate, though [2].
I am not aware of anyone managing to get sw mode to be accurate enough to
derive wordclock from.
