Time clock sync devices


Hello,

I would like to ask if anyone has experience with time clock synch devices and if it is worthwhile to buy such a device to complement digital music.  Thank you very much for your time.

@sns Received my Ediscreation Extreme Fiber box today an all in one unit which will finally take me into the wonderful world of streaming. Optical isolation, the full works. Will report back with great results I’m sure once I’m Qobuz registered.

@lordmelton  Believe you mentioned this product previously, relatively low priced for what it offers. I do like the integrated nature of this, reduces clutter and cabling. Would be nice to see direct comparison to Sonore products although not exactly same iterations of capabilities.

 

It is both interesting and a good thing to see more optical devices coming to market as I'm convinced optical is optimal network solution at this point.

Well, streamer is last piece of equipment prior to dac, points to having large impact in final sound quality. I'll continue to say until I'm blue in face using motherboard usb out of servers directly to dacs is what gives streaming a bad name.

most superior clocks in my experience run on DC, so you need a separate power and DC cable. Actually the quality of the DC cable matters as well, preferally lowest possible impedance. I cannot find any good reason to buy power and digital cables from the same manufacturer, though since there seems to be no overlap between the leading manufacturers of BNC (Habst, Shunyata, Sablon et al) and power chords (a long list including Nordost, Kubala Sosna, Acoustic Revive, Audioquest, Furutech et al)
