Advices on 10 mhz Clocks

We talked about my experience with the LHY ock-2 on another post. As mentioned, I noticed a slight improvement when using the ock-2 with my U18 ddc. I don't notice much difference using it with my Gustard X30 dac. 

The game changing moment came when you asked about using square wave outputs on the ock-2. I had not tried that, so I gave it a shot. This made a very noticeable improvement in clarity, separation of instruments, etc.  It's still connected that way.... 

@baylinor I had read that the square wave output made some gear sound too bright.  In my system, everything sounds more real.  Piano, drums, bass guitar, etc.  No brightness, sibilance, etc. 

@baylinor I played vinyl many years ago before cds came out .  A couple of years ago, I upgraded my vinyl playback system.  It's nice and sounds really good, but not better than digital.  It's a modest setup by high end standards. 

If you stream music, check out Once Blue by October Project. Really cool music, imo. 

I have it connected to both the U18 and X30. 

I initially needed 4 ft cables, but after rearranging my gear, I have one 18 inch cable and one 4 ft cable.  I could get by with a 3ft cable instead of 4ft, but 2ft wouldn't be quite long enough.

I don't know of any reason to use the same cable length?

This is what I use for clock cables.  I haven't tried anything else. 

@lordmelton Thanks for the information.  Before I saw your post, I had already ordered a pair of 3 foot cables. I hadn't thought about it before today, but it makes sense that they should be the same length. 

@lanx0003 interesting.  All I know is that I'm really liking what I hear. There was no extra brightness or harshness with the square wave connection. It works well with my gear. You cannot locate the speakers.  It's impressive. 

@baylinor sorry you didn't like October Project. You probably wouldn't like a lot of my favorites.  I often see albums recommended and I try them and think "yuk".  Lol.  It's interesting that we all like different things. 

@lanx0003 Good luck with your decision.  I probably won't be checking posts for the foreseeable future.  Feel free to PM me if you have questions that I might be able to answer.
