dCS Rossini Owners - sonic differences with and without the clock

Hi,

I'm two weeks into owning a dCS Rossini DAC, and still very much adjusting to how music is now presented by my Hifi, when compared to my previous DAC.

Curiosity is getting the better of me, and was wondering if any Rossini owners could please share their experiences of adding the Rossini Clock?

I've read all the reviews available from the Hifi mags, Sterophile, AudioStream, and so on, but wanted to get an impression from actual owners of the perceived sonic differences, and how the overall sound changes by adding the clock.
Many thanks!

Auralic LEO GX DAC Clock Review
From Audio Science Review and Measurements

Listening Tests
I played through a few of my reference files and I was shocked to hear a bit more detail. There was more air between instruments. The bass was ever so slightly quicker. I don’t think I have ever heard a DAC sound this good before!
Of course, none of that happened. The DAC sounded just as good as it did yesterday without the external clock. I did not try to time the tracks to see if they finish more on time so maybe they did.

Cheers George
