.? 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 .🎶 🎵

@cindyment  You really are off the charts...lol.

Re-read what you quoted it confirmed what I originally said.

Sources need to be re-clocked to give a DAC the best possible signal.

What's wrong? Is your multimeter broken or something?

Would it not have been easier to just say "I have no idea, whatsoever, how a DAC works"?

 

lordmelton: The enemy of every DAC is jitter and even if a DAC has zero jitter it can’t compensate for the jitter coming in.

This is the problem @jimob , you have people who don't even know the most fundamental aspect of how a DAC works, commenting heavily and with authority, and at the same time making fun of people who actually do. Hard to navigate towards the correct answer working under that premise.

This is a pretty good easy to understand article on Digital keep in mind it’s from 2008 and the section on "jitter", even 13 years ago explains how it isn’t a problem.
