+2, @folkfreak @tzh21y, Here is another recommendation for external clock, http://www.grimmaudio.com/pro-products/master-clocks/cc2/ I think the guys suggesting to go with external DAC missed your point of exploring the external clock. I own the same player, If your goal is to improve SACD playback then external DAC will be of no use cause you cannot transmit SACD layer through a SPDIF output. I would only explore external DAC if your goal is to improve CD playback which kinda defeats the purpose of owning a fabulous sounding SACD player from Marantz 😉 |
+3 @folkfreak With an Esoteric DAC it's easy to perceive the improvement of an external 10mhz atomic clock powered by a good LPS. Why would Esoteric market the interface were this untrue? Also, if your networked computer audio components have master clock inputs(e.g. SOtM renderer and ethernet hub), or if you have a PCM/DSD digital recorder with clock inputs(e.g. Tascam), it is beneficial to sync everything to one master clock, just like in studio environments. That said, I have no experience with Marantz. To Erik's point, at an early stage in digital evolution I had good results with Audiocom Superclocks inside a Sony SCD-1. The idea there was to position the clock within a few centimeters of the PCB input. |
