Wadia 27ix Clock Synch w/ Transport-good thing?

The 270 is built like a tank, probably sounds good with any DAC especially the SE model. When I purchased my 27 I used a ML transport (270 was not yet available) connected by Illuminati D60 and it sounded excellent. When the 270 became available I had the 27 upgraded to "i" version and clocklinked using 2 fiber optic cables (Optimism). Very nice, I recommend it. 27i has now been upgraded with GNSC reference mod and 270 has been upgraded to SE and GNSC reference mod. Plan on having 27 statement mod done early 2005. Every stage has been sonically rewarding.

I believe the Optimism v1 is no longer being made and has been replaced by the Optimism v2. The v1 is orange while the v2 is lime green. If you're using ATT glass with your Wadias these are the way to go. You should also consider the Aural Symphonics ioGel. I have always been curious about other interconnects between my Wadias though. I'm going to audition the Marigo Apparition 5.7 balanced soon. BTW: Aural Symphonics has a direct trade-in deal on the Optimism, v1 + $500 = v2. If I find something better I'll use the v2 for clocklink.

One more thing on this subject. I know Wadia prefers and recommends glass interconnects for their product but that doesn't mean there's nothing sonically better out there. I keep experimenting.
