Differences in clock cables?
I am wondering if anyone has done any testing, experimenting with different clock cables? Have you found any significant change? I currently have a pair of Oyaide 510 cables which are very nice silver cables.. Most of my interconnect is Wireworld so would getting some Gold Starlight 10's be an improvement or is there little change in clock cables effect on the overall sound? Thanks.
I don't know what clock you have or what's it's clocking but in my experience clocks have hugely inflated prices. My clock is made from a Russian missile. Pre Ukraine war. Most commercially available clocks have a Rubidium clock the size of a grain of rice. Which is not good. Cybershaft clocks are good but their cables aren't. Anyway you should buy a real clock cable which will cost $1000 or more. The clock cable I use is from Viard Audio, a French company. Good Luck |
I don’t have a word clock, I have a master clock. A 10 MHz master clock is far superior to a word clock, which usually requires two clock cables.None of your equipment has clock inputs, you must have word or master clock inputs to use a clock. It would be best to have a streamer with a clock and secondly a CD/SACD. A DAC will not usually benefit from a clock. Apologies for my system it hasn’t been upgraded for a long time. The core of my system is Aurender N20 with master clock coupled to a Plixir 12v DC LPS. My DAC is a Musetec MH-005. I recommend putting a SR fuse in your DAC. Cybershaft in Japan make good clocks at reasonable prices. |
My master clock is not available anymore but I recommend Cybershaft However get your own clock cables and DC cables and power supply I meant to say put a SR master fuse in your DAC it will make an incredible difference. I find with the N20 I get best results when I play CDs (PCM) through AES/EBU and DSD through USB. @sns is talking about an I2s clock, this doesn't apply to you because your DAC doesn't have an I2s input, and it's not really a clock anyway, it's a USB to I2s converter. Good Luck
