Warm relaxed digital coax

I’m using a DH Labs Mirage from my streamer to my DAC and couldn’t be happier.  They’re nice people to deal with to.

I find it a very strange addition to a request to be informed of a Cable that has a detectable Richness of Tone. Where there is a reference to a CDT costing short of $3K and then suggest there is a need for a upgrade part costing shy of $12K.

The OP prior to such a post has been clear a Cable Brand is of interest that does not go anywhere near the price of the products that are being added to the discussion later down the line.

Where is the Richness of Tone theme within the $215K Digital system being referenced.

the point of my first post was to comment that my inexpensive transport (a little over $2000 new) and inexpensive cable (under $1000 used) were boosted a lot by adding the clock, and my final comment was that likely a clock less expensive than mine would still make a big difference. that it's hard to properly judge a transport or cable without a clock added. there are cheap quality clocks out there and if one wants a very listenable digital performance, you are going to need a good clock somewhere in your signal path.

so my actual advice was relevant to the price range of the OP. i brought up my dac as full disclosure and mentioned that even expensive dacs can find happiness with the right cheap complimentary pieces. they are ’good enough’.

@mikelavigne A thread on Clocks might prove to be a very good reference point for learning about how Clocks can influence the end sound in System using a CDT or CDP? as a Source.

I would be keen to learn of such equipment that is seen to within my own budget for making improvements.

Are any DIY Build Clocks known about, especially ones proven as a go to Kit design ? The only device in my system to date that is not substantially modified or built from scratch is the CDT Source.

i’m not the right guy for such a thread; i only happen to have this clock since i acquired it to optimize my Esoteric T1 turntable. so not knowing about what effect it would have with the transport, i tried it and it blew my mind at the effect. i had no idea.

there are others who have looked at low cost clocks and know about that. likely there are already threads addressing this somewhere. i just don’t know these DIY or cheap clocks myself.
