Just a suggestion, but it might help if you included the phrase “Esoteric Owners” in your title, since you are asking a highly specialized question for a small target audience within the community.
Does Esoteric have a support group on Social Media? I have found the Qobuz Facebook support group more helpful than asking the company any question. Melco’s Facebook community is also superb, with people all over the globe answering anything I post with helpful information usually within minutes.
Fwiw, I read reviews from 2 U.K. reviewers that I respect about dcs
and the master clock that they sell for their stack. Keep in mind that this separate clock costs around 10K, and these 2 reviewers both preferred the dCS without the clock. At a more prosaic price point, I once owned a Wyred4 Sound DAC that then offered a separate master clock, which I purchased and then returned. It didn’t worsen the sound, but it didn’t seem to do anything that I could perceive with my ears, except lighten my wallet.
