'' 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.

Garebear,  go to the "What's Best In Audio" site, where there is an Esoteric owners forum and also a digital forum with clock discussions among guys who spend a lot of money on their systems.  You will find your answers there.

Good morning Goners ; Aubreybobb thank you so very much and I am smiling at your response as the typical '' thread locusts '' here on Audiogon and we know who they are have not responded to this question(s).

SNS  - thank you again as well....

Hello ; djones 51 and BINGO ! That is why I am here with this question. Esoteric notes that the K-01XD accepts sine waves but it has also noted that it can also accept a square wave. Hence, my confusion. I am still looking into that situation and you hit the nail on the head. To me ; if the MUTEC's output is a square wave signal then the CD player receiving that 10 hmz signal should also be set up to accept a square wave...…. they should be compatible and as SNS have talked, there 's where you could run into an issue with adding a clock if there are two different signals. .

So my question is - '' has anybody out there added a MUTEC Ref 10 or Ref 10 SE 120 to an Esoteric K-01XD CD player and what where the sonic results '' ?  Thank you …….

Likely no one out there to directly answer your question. In the end, likely you're going to have to purchase Mutec to find out.

If you end up trying a clock, I for one would appreciate giving us your results as it adds to knowledge base. Based on my negative results, I'm interested in hearing other perceptions of how clocks affect sound quality.
It is good none of the 'all knowing' haven't yet entered discussion.

......good morning SNA and I have contacted Mutec and presented my question to them as I did with Esoteric and will see how they respond. Yes it is nice not having the usual '' scribes '' chime in as this dilemma is more direct and factual as opposed to their usual arena which is subjective and of their own opinions  - and that's just want the are ; their opinions. Thank you again and stay safe and I will follow up …..
