Advices on 10 mhz Clocks


Does anyone have hands-on experience with the following clocks?

  • Aune X1C (I had a good LPS for it)

  • Gustard C16

  • LHY OCK-2

How do they stack up against each other? I’d appreciate any recommendations you can offer. I'm trying to synchronize a DDC and DAC.

Very interesting that both of you are hearing more detail, so I did some digging to explore why that might be. It turns out that a perfect square wave is the sum of an infinite series of sine waves at the fundamental frequency and its odd harmonics. See the reference below. https://www.prosoundtraining.com/2010/03/13/square-waves-and-dc-content/  Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Square wave (10 MHz) = Sum( nsin(2π(2n-1)10MHz) / (2n-1) ), n=1,…,inf

The higher the order of the harmonic frequencies, the sharper the edges of the square wave. These sharp edges more precisely define the timing information in a digital audio stream, which can lead to the perception of greater detail in the sound.

 

 

@lanx0003 interesting.  All I know is that I'm really liking what I hear. There was no extra brightness or harshness with the square wave connection. It works well with my gear. You cannot locate the speakers.  It's impressive. 

@baylinor sorry you didn't like October Project. You probably wouldn't like a lot of my favorites.  I often see albums recommended and I try them and think "yuk".  Lol.  It's interesting that we all like different things. 

@lanx0003 Good luck with your decision.  I probably won't be checking posts for the foreseeable future.  Feel free to PM me if you have questions that I might be able to answer.
