| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? I'm aware but my ears tell me different. I always go with my ears. | |

For the sake of argument, since I basically have a similar system as dspringham in above post, but unlike him I keep the dac on ext clock which provides a wider more expanded sound than using the int clock. I am of the school that thinks the entir... | |
