Why do you believe in this nonsense? Clocks are only useful in recording studios where a variety of disparate digital devices are in use. Home audio DAC's are asynchronous - they re-clock incoming digital signals and are immune to timing errors (jitter). For you re-clocking is a cure in search of a disease! Save your money for something that has a real effect - like better speakers.
How to ■ break-in ■ Clock Cable ■
I have been wondering how to break-in clock cables. Do I need to play music, OR just power on the Clock?
I have (a) Master Clock, connecting to (b) CD Transport, and (c) DAC
- Do I need to power-on ALL 3 machines? Do I need to even play a CD?
- OR, what I need is to just power-on Master Clock?
Someone said, as clock sampling signals are being sent out from Master Clock to slaves via "clock cables", regardless what the slaves are doing, so there are no need to play music. (So, no need to play CDs)
He further said, when interconnect cables, say from Transport to DAC, are being broken-in, there is no need to power-on the DAC, because signals are being sent from Transport via "interconnect cables", regardless DAC is power-on or not. In this case, the same logic is applied to clock cables break-in.
If the above makes sense, I can break-in Clock cables by just power-on Master Clock and let the sampling signals out?
Thanks.

@lowrider57 : why would you want to use an R2R DAC (Audio Note) without a proper filter (to remove out-of-band artifacts) and upsampling? These were both used to improve the noise/distortion (linearity) of R2R DACs. |
