Femto clocks ,every unit should have one

I was reading in Computer Audiophile even the .$400 Geek pulshas a a Femto clock. It is inexcusable for any credible company to not consider a Femto clock they are 1,000s of times more accurate then a a Pico master clock. We are speaking of a a Trillion times ,vs millions.
More accuracy ,equals less jitter more refined ,better resolution.
These clocks were several $1,000s a few years ago . Now a .085 Femto clock maybe $50 and made in the U.S.A the Geek puke use this.
I bought so Wyred SE dac then realized it has far superior low distortion parts but over looked a major part,the new kid in the block the Femto clock.i have been asking them to upgrade this dac most far no response ?
Why .they still have a lot of old pico clocks they want to off.
If buying any new dac a Demand a a Pico clock.BTW the vega dacs parts are not as close tolerance as the wyred SE dac,but it does have a Femto clock. Wyred needs now to step up to the plate .it sounds very good
It could be that much better with this clock.

As we speak Wyred 4 sound is testing the latest most powerful in it's class.
Femto clock the latest 2014 model that averages 82 Femto
Seconds. Just look up a clock on average 20 pico seconds for an average dac, vs this 82
Femto second Master clock. For one it is far ome accurate ,the more accurate less digital noise - less jitter a little more Refined presentation, a bit more air,better resolution and detail. I compared their parts quality which in the
SE model is better than Any dac even at $10,000 in digital where you are speaking of 10 x more accurate for a resistor ,or 100s of times lower noise in your regulators that are discreet,not ifs like most out there.
This with their new Femto clock adds up to one great digital converter.
Please don't forget if this was a retail product this would be in the $7,000
Range . Best of luck.

I just sent my DAC2 in to be upgraded to the DSDSE and I know they will not be using the Femto. It is arriving at Wyred 4 sound next Monday. Should have waited a while.

So far, there is only 1 dac that shows up prominently in a Google search that uses the Femto clock. That one has received some good reviews but it is not cheap, in the 4-5K range.

Faster more accurate clocks in DACs that might still come in under say $1500 or so is more what I'd be interested in.

Hello it is a fact ,Wyred has a unit as we speak that has been tested and does fit existing models in the SE group But will not be out for another month or two for they have
other tweaks.I heard a example with the clock and the Best Synergistic fuse which adds a bit of warmth and inner detail.and clock is much much more accurate meaning abit smoother more clear presentation.
The Femto clock is a minimum 82 Femto secondsthe latest for 2014.THis is a fact .JUst ask Clint if they are experimenting with them. it is a pre production test dac
they have to complete all R& D testing before making it official .
