Clocking: again!

@ Fuzztone:  Yes, my DAC reclocks.  Still, an external clock and the EtherRegen make a huge improvement to the sound. It is obvious for anybody who cares to actually try it.  And you cannot explain that, so it is better to remain in denial.

Asynchronous USB as well as Ethernet are asynchronous, meaning that D/A conversion clock runs independent from incoming data.  The only possible difference is how much of ambient electrical noise each cable injects into DAC. Injected noise can affect clock timing.

NO NO NO!

A 10Mhz Master Clock acts as a metronome to any internal clock wherever it is. It doesn't take over just provides perfect as possible timing to every component that accepts a 10 Mhz 75 or 50 Ohm input.

It is the Conductor that provides the timing only. There is no mystery or Voodoo involved it's science.

Word Clocks work differently Master Clocks are superior that's why they cost more than Word Clocks.

My project rs2 disc transport uses Hdmi (i2s) into the rs2 dac... Reclocks this way compared to coax or optical. A bit better but not a quantum jump.... Saying that I am using a very basic Hdmi so might splurge more 

I can hear the difference between £30 Mogami 2964 with canare BNC and £150 oyaide cable between a super cheap Chinese 10mz clock (£90) and the Etherregen.

Much easier to hear than any changes I've done in the Ethernet cable between the Etherregen and my DAC, maybe that's because my clock is so cheap :)
