The AFTERDARK OCXO clock requires 12VDC/2A power supply.
If you do not own one we sell an excellent 2 rail Linear Power Supply that can power both the EtherRegen and clock for $245 plus shipping. It comes with DC Cables with 2.1 barrel connectors and the clock comes with a great sounding 75Ohm BNC cable to connect to clock to the EtherREGEN.
I will share details below for the clock, LPS and thoughts on this new approach.

The Heart of AfterDark. Black Modernize Linear Power Supply
The circuit design of LPS is referenced and improved of the well-known Walt Jung Super Reg. The performance is first in the class I must say. Output voltage stays VERY stable with 0.01VDC tolerance despite I'm driving it almost at full load. It only gets a bit warm after a 48hrs of stress test.

Mastering the time domain in network-based hi-end audio focusing this tremendous level of concentrated precision and exacting time accuracy has never been done before. Not like this it has not. This approach, with these unique specialty devices (OCXO Clock and EtherREGEN) doing what they do has absolutely changed streaming audio forever. The result is a staggering level of improvement no one ever could have foresaw? A ridiculous amount of improvement you need to hear for yourself to understand. It’s not hyperbole if it’s the truth. This is the definition of the truth. Prepare to have your mind blown!
The concept behind mastering the network-based time domain is grounded in solid science, it is measurable and verifiable. Yet it runs contrary to how traditional audio upgrades paths have come forth. The bottom line is this kind of increased sound quality has always cost a lot more money! Much more!
Not only is this an incredible upgrade path standing on its own, but it is disproportionately inexpensive.
If we based our prices on actual audio improvement our prices would increase 10-fold. The good news our products price for performance are industry bests and we only charge based on the device.
This combination of very different, specialty devices has produced a result that has far exceeded what anyone thought possible. Our devices along with those of our friends and colleagues over at Uptown Audio are the best bang for buck components you can buy on the market today bar none!
Our Master Clocks and Linear Power Supplies vastly improve upon the excellent Uptone Audio EtherREGEN! You just cannot get this kind of Improvement anywhere else.
CTronic Music of Boston, the North American Distributor for AfterDark Audio Products and Services. We are proud to offer their full line of OCXO Master Clocks and Linear Power Supplies. These incredible audio devices have exploded onto the US audio scene and recording studios. Offering true, reference level performance at prices formerly unimaginable. The Editors of Stereotimes, The Absolute Sound, and other well-known magazines in Germany, France and Italy have all requested demo units. The secret is out, nothing comes even close to delivering this type of improvement. Plug this master clock into your Uptone Audio EtherREGEN with the included BNC cable and prepare to have your mind blown! We guarantee it!
