Time clock sync devices

@wokeuptobose Hi, Yes a 10 Mhz clock is a completely different animal from a Word Clock. It acts like a metronome providing a constant beat for any other clocks and oscillators in your system.

Now this is what I'm currently discovering and working on, which you have got a taste of, is power cables. I'm not quite there yet but it seems as if there is a relationship between the clock power cable and the clocked devices in the system power cables.

It may even extend to most or all cables in your system benefit by being the same as the clock power cable. Mad I know but there's seems to be something there.

Clock power cable even through a quality linear power supply is a major factor in SQ.

I am currently using a Viard Audio Silver HD20 power cable and a Viard Audio Platinum 75 Ohm clock cable with great results. Don't know why but many used for sale in HK

@antigrunge2 Totally agree a quality DC power supply is essential for a clock. I use Plixir with their upgraded DC cable.

I have found the AC power cable for the clock power supply is critical, no one would believe so because the clock is using the tiniest amount of electricity. But try it for yourself.

I can't say with absolute conviction that using the same manufacturer's BNC clock and AC power cable will give you the best results but it's working for me.

I don't have enough BNC cables to further experiment but if you do you can give it a try.

Shunyata do make a 75 Ohm and 50 Ohm BNC clock cables and of course power cables.

However most quality BNC cables are $2-3k.

The Viard cables are high quality cables made in France.

@thanasakis Hi, A master clock is one of the most important contributions to hi-end digital sound quality. However, clocks are very sensitive and they need (expensive) quality clock cables, power cables and power supplies to reveal their full potential.

A good clock will sound like a major component upgrade.

@sns Received my Ediscreation Extreme Fiber box today an all in one unit which will finally take me into the wonderful world of streaming. Optical isolation, the full works. Will report back with great results I’m sure once I’m Qobuz registered.
