Advices on 10 mhz Clocks


Does anyone have hands-on experience with the following clocks?

  • Aune X1C (I had a good LPS for it)

  • Gustard C16

  • LHY OCK-2

How do they stack up against each other? I’d appreciate any recommendations you can offer. I'm trying to synchronize a DDC and DAC.

You mentioned GoldenSound. If you go through his videos he experimented with clocking a DAC and the benefit was zero. Clocking other components before their signal gets to the DAC ensures a pristine signal for the DAC to process.

Denafrips and DCS use twin WORD Clock connections at 44 and 48 kHz. These are basically nonsense when a 10 MHz master clock is far superior and can be bought for comparative pennies. I believe companies that use WORD clock just want to tie you into their process.

Clock cables should be one meter and all the same length and identical models from the same manufacturer.

For economy cables try Shenzen Audio and Denafrips.

High end cables are $1k+
