Where to install Superclock3, Transport or DAC?

Hi, I want to experiment with some mods in my Digital source, a transport/BelCanto DAC2. I'd like to try the Audiocom Superclock3, but I'm not sure where it would be more efficient to install it, whether in my transport or in the DAC? or it does not matter? or the ideal would be to install one in both? What do you suggest?
Thank you.

I would definitely put it in the Dac if possible. It seems to make more of a difference there. My transport has one in it and it doesn't make a real difference as far as I can tell. I auditioned a Dac that used a Super Clock in it and the difference was very noticeable. Other factors could have played a part in what I heard also?

On another note, I've discovered using a Monarchy DIP in between the transport and the Dac made more of a substantial difference than the Super clock. So tread carefully. At least you can sell the Monarchy DIP or GW Labs DSP without a big loss.

Since I've bought a product from these guys and very impressed by it..I suggest you check out Burson Audio and save some money. This will at least give you another option for the clock. Hell.. you'll have enough money left over to throw in the regulator and power supply!

Good luck

FWIW Elberoth2 ..there are at least two modding companies installing the Super Clock 3 in the BelCanto. Empirical Audio and
Reference AudioMods. Personally I would save the money and just get the jitter/signal reclocker and conditioning unit along with a 1.5 meter digital cable and be done with it.
