Time clock sync devices

You'll likely get more value passing your streaming digital through a clock than the output of a high quality transport like the CEC.  That's why many standalone clocks are network cable in & USB out

Your Transport also has their proprietary SUPERLINK connection, which allows a compatible (CEC) DAC to share its clock.

I have the Innuos Phoenix reclocker.  Yep definitely works well and Im keeping it.  You hardly ever see them up for sale used so that says something too

Clocking will have a very significant impact. The infinitesimal amount of jitter is the thing holding elite systems back.  The stepped up clock in my server was game changing and makes very DAC I have had here sound better.  

@verdantaudio - Have you noticed a similar impact with using a quality cd transport as well? The Op isn't using a server or streamer

I haven’t used a transport since 2019.  Haven’t tested it but theoretically it should have the same sort impact.
