'' Okay let me ask my digital question in another way ''........


Hello Audiogoners  - I hope all is well and I will try and ask my digital question in another way. Has anybody ever added a MUTEC Ref 10 SE 120 Master clock to their Esoteric K-01XD CD player and what were the results ? The reason that I ask is the Esoteric player will accept both a square wave and sine wave signal from an out board master clock. The MUTEC is a only a square wave signal and the optimum scenario would be to have both players on the same wave siganl. It can work both sine and square but I need to know how did it sound ???? Thank you all and stay safe.

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.
Good morning Mr. Mahler 123  -  thank you for your response and also thank you for the suggestion. I have been doing a ton of research on this topic and the reason that some of these master clocks when added on  '' don't work sonically '' is due to the question that I have presented. There are difference in the signal being made ; sine vs square. The MUTEC Ref 10 SE 120 Master Clock is an incredible product and unbelievably engineered and I am looking at that over staying in the Esoteric line. But ...but... its signal is a square wave and even though Esoteric players will accept both signals  …...it does effect the overall sound. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. I am looking for someone here who has gone through what I am looking at now and has an educated and accurate response.                
I recently purchased audiophile network switch with TXCO clock, rest of streaming and network optimized prior to the switch purchase. Extremely disappointed with switch in system, yes, there was lower noise floor. The one great defect of the switch and added clock was image outline excessively sharpened, like cookie cutter images. I've surmised this was clock issue, as I've heard previous clock upgrades affect sound stage and imaging. Perhaps DCS owners and mahler123 heard this same defect.

I don't recall having previously heard about square vs sine wave signal mismatch, could be my issue. I'd assume the dcs folks had no such mismatch.
