Stellavox ST2 DAC and use of worldclock generators

Hi

Anyone used this? I am quite keen to buy a Victor XL-Z999EX CD (japan only version of the Harmonix Reimyo 777 cd) with world clock input function to reduce jitter and get the timing correct.

So...i've seen a Swissonic WD8 world clock thingy...and also a Stellavox DAC.

The Stellavox ST2 has received many excellent reviews in asia, apparently based on the Goldmund Alize2 technology.

Wondering how this would compare with the Benchmark DAC for example?

On the other hand if anyone knows of single channel world clock generators i would be very interested to hear. The Swissonic (i have growing suspiscions that they might be related to Goldmund and Stellavox but its only a hunch) WD8 is 8 channel and for studio use you see!

Cheers

Richard

Although an exception could exist, by their very nature word clock generators are designed to work with multiple digital components. I wish more audiophile oriented equipment had word clock inputs and outputs. Separate clock generators are really overkill for audiophiles. The important thing is that both the transport and the DAC are running on the same clock. You may need to experiment with which setup sounds better, if either, but the accuracy of the built in clocks should be more than adequate.

BTW, I believe most Swissonic products are based upon RME designs.
