Word Clock Cable Upgrade

Sorry I'm not going for the prices they want 

Harmonic Technolgies make nice cables that won’t kill you. Copper about 110 and Silver around 160 .  Easily resold if you don’t appreciate the bump

No doesn’t work that way. You need a specific Word Clock connection between the Streamer and DAC for the Streamer to be synchronized with the DAC clock. I believe this means the DAC clock is the driver. 

Does using a USB cable accomplish the same thing? The DAC Clock then controls the Streamer?

@jfrmusic ​​​​@wsrrsw I did experiment on this about a decade ago with dCS scarlatti and then Vivaldi. I was using the ’basic’ cables dCS supplied and tried a Chord Signature, which was better and there was further improvement with a Solstace/Sarum. But having read a 2016 review in hi-fi pig

I them borrowed a Chord Music BNC-BNC and I would suggest, knowing what I do about the PTFE knee that there is definitely something in the point they make on "Taylon" which is a phase stable dielectric at room temperature.
However, I didn’t buy the cable as whilst it was superior it was something like £3,500. They have subsequently brought out a Sarum-T, which has Taylon but is now about £2k, I haven’t tried these because primarily I have been spending on my Vinyl system of late and also because I would need about 4 in my system and i’m ’afraid’ it will work!

Assuming you are in the US I don’t know if Chord do the 30 day money back that Wsrrsw noted, they do in some territories. If you could borrow one or get a dealer to demo, I am not necessarily saying "its the best", but there is some scientific basis to why it assists and it might be worth a benchmarking trial with others.

I do note that there are some ’industrial’ manufacturers that make what are noted to be phase stable cables for satellite applications. If you could get hold of a sample of one of these as they seem to be BNC types (assuming it wasn’t even more expensive) then could well be worth a try.

Have heard good things of Tubulus clock cables

Try one with a thirty day return policy.

Yes Syncing with the MSB definitely sounds better even with my Lie cost Blue Jeans cable. The question is how much influence does the cable have. Will l get better sound with a more up scale cable?  Does the cable make much of a difference in this case?  

My N30SA sounds slightly better (to my ears) in my system when connected to the clock in my MSB Reference. I use a Shunyata Sigma cable.

@m2team00

Yes. You are correct I typed it in wrong. Anyway any experience with Clock Cable upgrades

The N20 has a clock input, not output.
