Digital clock - any recommendations?


Recently heard an Esoteric setup with and without a digital external clock and the difference was not subtle.  I have a marantz sa11 s2.  Any recommendations?

This difference may:
1- not be better2- is very DAC dependent.
From an electrical engineering point of view, you want the clock as physically close to the DAC for the best signal and lowest jitter.

I prefer to get a DAC with a great internal clock, Mytek. Anything outside the case is going to be worse just due to the distance involved.


I suggest you audition your DAC and keep an open mind as to which version sounds better.


Best,
