DCS Rossini dac owners

i’m happy. need to put the brakes on.. for once

Since USB is reclocked anyway, the only benefit an external clock would be is more accuracy, and seeing as how even <$500 DACs have clocks that are way better than needed, anything more expensive that benefits from an external clock should be considered sub-par.

agreed. the rossini has a great master clock so switching back and forth established that fact. it’s a beautiful piece.

I just bought a Rossini and clock.  I have only hooked up the Rossini so far and I am so blown away by just the DAC alone.  It is just an insane ridiculous jump from my prior DAC.  I wanted to get a good handle on the sound of just the DAC before I add the clock so I can know what I spent the extra money for.  I am curious about the effect of better power cords and digital cables on the clock?  I only have the stock power cord and digital cables for the clock at this point.  I put a Synergistic Research gallileo power cord on my prior DAC and was very impressed.
