What kind of a pulse are you talking about? What you see on the SPDIF cable? That would be at the SPDIF clock rate. Or are you talking about the analog pulses you would see at the output of an unfiltered NOS DAC. These would be at the word clock rate, e.g. 44100 Hz. The SPDIF pulses have to be at a much higher rate to allow for 20 or 24 bits of data per sample, 2 or 4 channels, and sending both the data and the clock.
