Transport for Exogal Comet Plus DAC

Transport for Redbook CD only.  Currently using an Oppo 103, but that will be leaving soon.  Curious if this is a DAC that would benefit from re-clocker...Thanks

I was on the forum seeking advice about a new Dac and many Exogal Comet Plus owners stated the clock was so good they didn't need an external device.

The CEC line of redbook CD transports is worth looking into.

Agree with twoleftears and lowrider57 that the Comet doesn't need a reclocker. I tried the Uptone ISO Regen/LPS-1 between my Aurender N100H and Exogal Comet Plus and preferred the sound without it. Lost airiness and treble extension with the Uptone duo in the loop.

Do this experiment first:

Play a track from 2 different digital sources or from the same source using two different coax cables to your DAC.  If you hear ANY difference, then your situation will benefit from a reclocker.

This one is the best, based on measurements and customers feedback.

It is also crucially important that you use the best coax cable you can afford to the DAC.  All cables add jitter, the question is: how much?  See these jitter measurements for different cables:

The BNC-BNC cable is the place to start.  Add 75 ohm RCA adapters if needed.
