Gustard C16 clock


Stupid question of the day... 

I have a Gustard R26 dac and a Gustard U18 ddc.  I've read comments from users that say that adding a C16 clock adds a bit of improvement. 

For the life of me, I can't figure out how a C16 connects to the U18.  I know there is a cable with bnc connectors.  But, I only see outputs on the C16. Six of them. Some direct and some isolated.

Is the single cable bi-directional? I'm used to sound going in on one cable and out another. 

Anyone using a similar setup that has insights on what I might expect for improvement (if any)?

The U18 has an input and output, but I only see outputs on the C16 unless I'm missing something.

Thank you for the reply.  I think you have the connections spelled out correctly.  I guess I don't really understand how the clock works.  It sends a signal to the ddc, but no signal goes into the clock.  

Supposedly, Gustard is coming out with an R30 dac that will be an upgrade to the R26.  Maybe I should upgrade to that rather than adding a $650 clock.
