Is there a disadvantage to setting SPDIF_RX_CTL.FASTLOCK to 1?

    Thread Summary
    
                The user asks about the disadvantages of enabling fast mode in S/PDIF receiver settings. The final answer explains that fast mode is beneficial for quick recovery from signal glitches but may compromise signal accuracy, making it less suitable for high-quality audio applications where slower, more reliable recovery is preferred.

    The manual states that enabling fast mode has the "advantage of recovering very quickly whenever the S/PDIF receiver looses lock due to glitches in the signal".
    

    What is the disadvantage, or, to phrase it another way, is there ever any reason not to enable fast mode?

      Hi Michael,
      

      Fast mode is useful when quick recovery is more important than signal accuracy.
      for example, in consumer or real-time systems where occasional instability is acceptable. But if you need high-quality audio and can tolerate slightly slower recovery, normal mode is safer and more reliable.
