LAIV uDDC Arrived

It’s only been on a few hours and I like it a lot. I was wondering how much benefit I would get, currently using a Zen MK 3 and Denafrips Terminator 2, It’s been a very nice step up sonically and quite noticeable. Very impressed.
 

Soundstage has widened and has more depth. Super quiet black background. Instrument placement and sounds are spot on. Drums are really cracking, Spacial cues are very pronounced, great 3D feel, reverbs trail off longer, harmonized voices are very separated, you can pick out the placements of vocals and instruments.

Very pleased with this purchase. Built like a tank and connections were easy and immediate.

Femto Clock is not necessarily less than an OCXO.  It all depends upon the implementation.

With USB, which is asynchronous, the clock in the DAC is the controlling clock.

With Coax, generally, the connection is synchronous, and the upstream clock is the boss clock.

Whether asynchronous or synchronous, both the clock in the DAC and any upstream clocks are all in play. It's a handshake affair. It's all a matter of which clock dictates the tempo to the other(s).
