Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system
@dies_irae What was your final decision? It seems that you got the Cybershaft OP21 and immediately moved on to the PERF10. Is that your final destination or have you moved on? Where did you find the Kronos1? It is an amazing piece of machinery. I ...

I was looking at the Audio-GD DI-20HE DDC. Will look at the Musician Leo as well. Will reach out to Esoteric. Thanks so much.  
Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE
I have pretty much settled on the Cybershaft OP-19 master clock. I will investigate the Audio-GD DI-20HE. It appears to be the best on the market currently.

@soix I was given an amazing opportunity today to purchase the Esoteric Grandioso D1. So I did so. Do you think a DDC is still necessary?  
Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE
@dgarretson Someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I just purchased the Esoteric Grandioso D1. @plga I reached out to both Magna Hifi and SOtM USA to investigate adding a clock input to the sms-200. I just checked my receipt and I did add ev... 
Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE
I have no DDC as of yet. I am looking at Denafrips Iris, Musician Pisces, and Singxer SU-6. Others? I am using a 10 year old April Music Eximus DP1. Obviously, it has no clock input.

@soix Thanks for the suggestion. I will take this seriously. Are your connections similar to kairosman’s post above? Thank you.  
Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE
Well, I think it is a bit excessive but they have to open up your unit, make sure they do not cause any damage, add the clock input, then close up right? So it should cost more than $200 but that's almost double. I will pay the $350 or get another...

Understood. I have Legacy Aeris speakers and a distributed bass array ala AudioKinesis. I decided to go with 2 REL 212/SX in front and 2 Rythmik E22 for the rear. So it's possible that my hardware might improve from additional tweaking. Another au... 
Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE
@dgarretson That sounds like an amazing setup. @plga What was your final decision? I am in the same boat as you. I bought the SOtM sMS-200 ultra Neo 2 years ago with no clock input. I am considering adding a 10 MHz external master clock which mea...

Is the Gustard R26 the most capable DAC coming out of China? Anything else considered top of the line? Has anyone connected a 10 MHz master clock to the R26? I have a SoTM sms-200 neo ultra without clock input. I am trying to decide if I want to r... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Let me start by saying that I have read every post in this gargantuan thread. Every. Single. Post. I agree, the LightSpeed Attenuator is a mandatory component of any audiophile-level sound system. I love mine so much that I might attempt to build ... 
CANTON Vento Reference 3 DC vs. the 3.2 Model
I finally purchased these speakers as well this week. I purchased the Canton Vento Reference 3 DC and the Vento 866.2 center channel. They arrived yesterday and and I connected them expeditiously. They are absolutely amazing straight out of the bo... 
CANTON Vento Reference 3 DC vs. the 3.2 Model
@revrob , thanks for the long post. I wish it were longer! LolIt seems that Accessories4Less.com has quite a bit of latitude when it comes to lowering the price of these speakers. The lone review of the 3.2 DC says the buyer paid $4600 instead of ... 
CANTON Vento Reference 3 DC vs. the 3.2 Model
@revrob I am considering these speakers as well. What is "phonemail value"? What other reference speakers would you compare them to? My only concern is price. Is the price TOO low?!? Only in an audiophilia forum would someone even ask that questio...
