Femto clocks ,every unit should have one

I was reading in Computer Audiophile even the .$400 Geek pulshas a a Femto clock. It is inexcusable for any credible company to not consider a Femto clock they are 1,000s of times more accurate then a a Pico master clock. We are speaking of a a Trillion times ,vs millions.
More accuracy ,equals less jitter more refined ,better resolution.
These clocks were several $1,000s a few years ago . Now a .085 Femto clock maybe $50 and made in the U.S.A the Geek puke use this.
I bought so Wyred SE dac then realized it has far superior low distortion parts but over looked a major part,the new kid in the block the Femto clock.i have been asking them to upgrade this dac most far no response ?
Why .they still have a lot of old pico clocks they want to off.
If buying any new dac a Demand a a Pico clock.BTW the vega dacs parts are not as close tolerance as the wyred SE dac,but it does have a Femto clock. Wyred needs now to step up to the plate .it sounds very good
It could be that much better with this clock.

So far, there is only 1 dac that shows up prominently in a Google search that uses the Femto clock. That one has received some good reviews but it is not cheap, in the 4-5K range.

Faster more accurate clocks in DACs that might still come in under say $1500 or so is more what I'd be interested in.

ITs very interesting to read these comments on what matters with digital reproduction, but its also very hard for most anyone I would think to get their arms around what works and does not work better in the digital domain. Makes getting ones arms around traditional audio issues like turntable setup and impedance matching seem like childsplay.

Keep it coming though. More information is always better than less.

I have been ripping CDs to server and playing from there exclusively for the last few years.

Have not figured out a good way to doctor up the disk storage to date though. I'll leave that to those better suited to the task like GEoff and wait for the next big Machina Dynamica Innovation.
