For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock?

It's remarkable how much difference a very good clock makes isn't it. Well you'll be pleasantly surprised by the further benefits that are possible with better cables (or cable / filter combos).

You need to use Google webpage translate.

You order and pay for it then they email you afterwards to bill you separately for international shipping, total cost works out around USD150, so not cheap but a little cheaper than the C2 but with performance on another level. Its resolution and refinement is superb.

You may be able to source it in the States too but likely more expensive.

I see a dealer near me here in Ontario. I will phone tomorrow

and see what his prices are.

For a budget of around 1,000.00, I can order a OCK-2 and use

my Douk U2 Pro or 

an LHY UBT-1 (ddc) and an OCK-1

any opinions?

P.S. I ordered a .5m bnc cable off of Aliexpress.

@peareye I’d say invest in the best clock you can afford, then upgrade other stuff as and when you can afford to. The OCK-1 is great, I was very happy with it, but after 6 months temptation got the better of me and now I’ve heard the OCK-2 I can’t go back. 

What’s your network chain to your MacBook btw? As if it involves an Ethernet connection I’d strongly recommend an Ifi LAN iSilencer. For USD90 it was an excellent bang for buck upgrade to my streaming based system and I already had a  very good LHY switch.

@kereru 

that's the exact decision I made last night! ...and you said the same thing

as Beatechnik did! I prefer using MacBook Pro to Phasure Lush usb

to the Douk U2 Pro with Atlas Mavros Coax to the Gustard R26. I am

looking for that Harmonic Tech bnc cable still but have also ordered 

one LMR 400 from aliexpress.
