Time clock sync devices

@lordmelton  Believe you mentioned this product previously, relatively low priced for what it offers. I do like the integrated nature of this, reduces clutter and cabling. Would be nice to see direct comparison to Sonore products although not exactly same iterations of capabilities.

It is both interesting and a good thing to see more optical devices coming to market as I'm convinced optical is optimal network solution at this point.

I would think that is why there are more expensive streamers out there.

Well, streamer is last piece of equipment prior to dac, points to having large impact in final sound quality. I'll continue to say until I'm blue in face using motherboard usb out of servers directly to dacs is what gives streaming a bad name.

most superior clocks in my experience run on DC, so you need a separate power and DC cable. Actually the quality of the DC cable matters as well, preferally lowest possible impedance. I cannot find any good reason to buy power and digital cables from the same manufacturer, though since there seems to be no overlap between the leading manufacturers of BNC (Habst, Shunyata, Sablon et al) and power chords (a long list including Nordost, Kubala Sosna, Acoustic Revive, Audioquest, Furutech et al)

@antigrunge2 Totally agree a quality DC power supply is essential for a clock. I use Plixir with their upgraded DC cable.

I have found the AC power cable for the clock power supply is critical, no one would believe so because the clock is using the tiniest amount of electricity. But try it for yourself.

I can't say with absolute conviction that using the same manufacturer's BNC clock and AC power cable will give you the best results but it's working for me.

I don't have enough BNC cables to further experiment but if you do you can give it a try.

Shunyata do make a 75 Ohm and 50 Ohm BNC clock cables and of course power cables.

However most quality BNC cables are $2-3k.

The Viard cables are high quality cables made in France.
