Can I use S.S. 10M Rubidium Audio Clock alone in my K-03X?


Someone suggest me to buy a Stanford Research - 10M Rubidium Audio Clock for my K-03X, which can improved the sound quality a lot and mcuh cheaper than G-01.  They said I don’t need any separated master clock like G-02, but I really wonder if it is true because as I know S.S. 10M rubidium clock cannot generated a 44.1KHZ for my K-03X. And I just found this thread from another forum, see David N. Y from below link

The SRS PERF-10 and FS725 only generate a 10MHz signal. You also need an external clock, such as the Antelope OCX, that generates a 44.1KHz (and other useful) frequencies

However, someone also said if my CDP can accept 10M Hz, then it can work with S.S. 10M Rubidium Audio Clock without an external master clock.  So my questions are:

 

Who is correct?

Does anybody know if my K-03X can accept 10M HZ?

Actually I owned a G-03X Master Clock with my old X-03SE before, but I was a little bit disappointed the result, because the difference of the sound quality is not significant in most of the CD playback. I just sold this old CDP and master clock recently. Now I got a brand new K-03X CDP, this time I need to be very careful to decide whether I need an external master clock or should I get a good quality 10MT rubidium audio clock only.  Well, to buy a separated external master clock like G-02 + a 10M Rubidium Audio Clock together is a big investment (If so, I better purchase K-01X without using any external clock).

 

I need to make sure:

If I can use S.S. 10MT rubidium audio clock only in my K-03X without a master clock. And if the sound quality is much better than use a G-02.

Sorry, I forgot to say I just use my K-03X for CD/ SACD playback, I don't use it to play music file.
