DCS Rossini and master clock questions

Actually dCS own (John Quick) advice is that the first power cord you should upgrade in any dCS stack is that of the clock. I own a Vivaldi stack with an additional 10MHz reference clock and both that and the dCS clock benefit from upgraded power cords. The effect is not subtle.

The same is true of the BNC connection from clock to DAC as well, good low cost options include the Black Cat but I swear by Transparent Ref XL, which will of course cost you 😉

You should also look into using alternative footers under the clock as well and definitely never stack the two as is often shown!  More dCS system tips can be found in my virtual system description 

great advice.  Thank you.  I am still in shock at how much better this sounds than my old DAC.  Just an insane upgrade like nothing I've ever experienced in all my years of hifi.  I have yet to hook up the clock.  I am running it with the network connection from a Roon nucleus + and of course using the Roon software.  

FWIW the Rossini direct is spectacular. In this particular case I can’t hear anything lost. I’ve always used a great pre but redundant in my humble opinion. What a great dac, as it should be.
