Dcs Verona vs Scarlatti master clock


I'm using Dcs Verdi/Purcell/Elgar Plus with Apogee Big Ben as master clock. I wonder if the upgrade from BB to Verona will be an improvement as some users reported little, if any, difference. Then there come the Scalatti. Anybody has experienced with Scarlatti clock and compared to Verona?

Now I got the idea the Scarlatti Dac is the first target for improvement from the previous Dcs stack. Jb, I have just read from avguide forum and one user who also is a Dcs dealer mentioned about his surprising dicovery. He prefers to upsampling to 176,4khz using Purcell to the Scarlatti Dac more than the usual Dsd upsampling. Unfortunately, he specified that a pair of Nordost Odin balanced cables were being used. That's too expensive for me to try.
Jb, in what way the new Scarlatti Dac is improved upon the Elgar plus? Did you use the Verona before the Scarlatti clock? If there was a difference the spec didn't show it. Both seem to have similar jitter(+/-1ppm).

Jb, I'm using 4 lessloss power cables for my amps and very satisfied with them. How much you pay for the lessloss aes-ebu?
By the way, has anyone been experimenting word clock cables? I discover that word clock cables have as much effect as other cables such as interconnects, power cables and firewire. Considering that you need 3 clock cables in the system, you can try so many combination of word clock cables to obtain the sound that suit your system. I have used several combinations of cheap 75 ohm cables with good result. Wondering if someone has had similar experience to share.
