@jimob Hi the Terra is a Master Clock like the Mutec 10 MHz Master Clock so it should slave all other clocks to it. The Mutec is straighforward because 10MHz is standard.
.? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb
Hello To all ,many Audiophiles I have found do not even know what a Digital reclocker is, and what does it do exactly , and how it helps the incoming signal.
and the Bigger question is Syncing the clock to Dac.
for example with Denafrips Reclocker , the most versatile I have seen with input outputs especially from Hermes, Gaia DCC reclockers most inputs,outputs, they have both 45,and 48 MHZ for clock sync. ,other dacs clocks may use 5-10 MHz ,this gets a bit confusing.
Here is a big question , say you have a very good dac with over clock ⏰,
Is there any advantage to syncing clock say from cheaper Iris DDC reclocker ,to the very good say Terminator oven controlled clock. The Big question is how does this work? Does the better clock in the dac dominate or influence the lesser clocks ?
or don’t bother syncing clock with cheaper Iris DDC ? Do you have to have a reclocker with = quality ⏰ clock to the dac to make it a Sonic improvement ?
these are the questions no one I know has been able to answer with absolute knowledge.
just the reclocker itself is worth wild for. It filters and cleans the incoming digital signal ,through usb,BNC,or coaxial cable, then reclocks signal to dac to have a pristine signal to read.. in this respect even a good basic reclocker like Iris would be very good ,on pontus and even Venus dac ,and Holo springs worked well
for $600, next Big step the $1250 Hermes better everything including oven controlled clocks ,if you can afford it. Syncing clocking is the big Question is there any benefit going from a lesser Iris clock in the Iris DDC reclocker syncing clock to say a Terminator + with far superior oven clocks?Is there any benefit ? If so why ? Thank you to Anyone who may have the expertise to logically explain this.
Hopefully Alvin Chee will see this ,Happy listening to your music .🎶 🎵

The master clock helps only if in your dac it’s not of equal or better quality. i seen response from engineer Alvin from Denafrips he said in New Terminstor2,and plus model the terra clock no advantage pretty equal , but reclocking , and syncing clock is worth doing , not enough space to include all in one box that's why it’s separate box, as well as for RF, isolation. |
Just received from Denafrips The DDC is mainly to resolve the interference of the USB transmission potentially induced from the USB host (computer/streamer).
Such interference/noise is difficult to be handled & eliminated by the DAC itself due to the spare constraint. DENAFRIPS DDC improves the sound quality from three aspects. One is to reduce the negative impact of the computer front end on the audio system, the other is to improve the negative impact of the power supply, and the third is to minimize the impact of the clock on the audio system. The following reviews might be of interest to you: https://twitteringmachines. https://twitteringmachines. https://www.denafrips.com/ If you use USB primarily, the DDC will be an improvement to the system. Hermes is certainly a step up for the Iris. It uses OXCO (Iris uses TCXO), a trickle down of the Gaia DDC. In fact, i just filmed a video a few days ago, yet to publish. Here's the VVIP preview for you: https://youtu.be/3SbK2kxg7X0 Hope this helps!
Many thanks.
Yours sincerely, Alvin Chee |
