One of the unique features of the AD-596 is Millennia's proprietary Tick-Tock-Lock for outstanding performance with an external clock. The AD-596's performance is indistinguishable between internal and external clock. Most converters suffer from degraded performance when slaved.

Analog inputs and Digital AES outputs are handled by DB25 connectors that conform to the Tascam wiring standard.
