Weiss 501 info perhaps addresses this. Synchronization
An internal high precision / low jitter clock generator is responsible for clocking the D/A converter section. The sampling frequency of that generator is fixed at about 195kHz. The input signals are converted to the 195kHz sampling frequency for optimal signal quality. This scheme also helps significantly in reducing any jitter related effects. All standard sampling frequencies up to 384 kHz plus DSD x64 and x128 are supported.
Is a cheaper DAC + Reclocker better than just an expensive DAC?
Hi All,
I'm still in my DAC dilemma phase, and have come across this situation, is a cheaper DAC + Reclocker better than just an expensive DAC? The basis for this is the below Gustard example. Also, i've read a review that commented on the X26 being further improved when a reclocker was added.
Gustard U18 reclocker ($635 CAD) + Gustard X18 ($952 CAD) = $1,587 CAD
OR
Gustard X26 = $1,907 CAD
So if i wanted to:
- have a mind-blowing DAC experience (stepping up from my Khadas Tone Board DAC)
-not have any regrets
- extinguish any upgrade fever
- make girls like me...
...is it a general rule that a DAC+reclocker will ususally sound better than a standalone more expensive DAC, and so i should pursue this route?
Does anyone have any amazing examples of cheaper DACs, that when coupled with a reclocker, elevate the combo into the really acoustically high-end and detailed areas of the hobby?
