Digital clock - any recommendations?

@folkfreak

OP has now stated whether he uses SACD or not, but good point.

I would argue though that regular Audio CD through an SMSL SU-8 or similar would sound be better than even a $10,000 master clock hooked up to that Marantz. Granted, Stereophile measurements show it to be pretty good, except Filter 2.

I do use SACD on occasion.  I am not sure on how such I would spend.  I did see an esoteric external clock for around 4k.  That would probably be the most I would spend.

What are you gonna use the external clock with? Does your preamp/integrated also have a word clock jack? You don’t just plug it into your transport/player. 
 
Or are you talking about a re-clocker? 
 
As I’ve stated on this forum, there is no real technical benefit to DSD in regard to music listening, so I wouldn’t be worried about losing it. 
 
As also discussed, the Esoteric is a multi-box digital system, the clock is used to sync all the components, it is not needed if you are just going analog out from your Marantz to your preamp/integrated.  
  
Room treatment, room correction, and subwoofers would add magnitudes more benefit.

Please spare us with your worthless knowledge on DSD, jitter and anything that has to do with digital. You keep peddling your generalizations and bookish knowledge off the internet. As I have asked you in the past, before you share anything here; please state if you have any direct experience with the components in discussion.

Which preamp / Integrated has a word clock jack…please do tell us.

Y@tzh21y I’m sure you know this but be sure you get a clock that offers 44.1kHz multiple outputs not just 10MHz. The Mutec Ref10 I use or the Abendrot Stute I linked to are 10MHz only and to be used as a Master reference for a playback frequency clock such as the dCS models.

Any of the Esoteric models will work fine or the dCS Rossini or Puccini u clock or the Mutec MC-3, of course any of these can then also have a 10 MHz reference added ... it can get pretty spendy 😉
