Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC

I did not open yet the Metrum, so I don't know its clock. I CAN predict if it is a clock under or equaling 45MHz (unless much more complicated order processes for custom cristals) it WILL be bettered by a super clock unless the strange über freq Metrum DAC has a very (much higher) clock than the normal range between 6 and 45 MHz.

As for the Yamamoto, I am 99.99% sure it will be considerably bettered by the DEXA Neutron clock with its own dedicated accurate stable pws. The most worst thing that can happen with a better clock is that the improvement in SQ is less than anticipated mostly happening as the sound reaching our ears will always be limited by the weakest link in the stereo chain

Kyrill,
In theory what so state makes sense and is interesting. The Yamamoto is 'very' satisfying and often I `m inclined to leave well enough alone. For the cost of the DEXA clock I`d be disappointed with just a modest improvement.

Hi Charles

The price of the clock is including its special pws. The improvement will be there as no commercial product under 5000+ € will have a comparable clock. The total price of the clock and pws will be in the league of a mainstream low-mid price high end cable...

The MSB Technology DAC has a new 200 femto clock module... of ehhh 9950 US $. The price is only for the clock option.

my mistake

Kryrill,
Would the DETA clock be more effective with the DAC or the PS Audio transport(memory unit)? Curious.
