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


I've been enjoying this dac for several months now. I have tried USB and COAX and now I2S.

There is a noticeable improvement in each of these inputs. I have read many of the discussions here regarding both DDC and external clocks. I am wondering which of these would give more bang for the buck. The Gustard goes very well with my tube amps.

I am considering the LHY OCK 1 or 2 for clocks and undecided for the DDC.

I just received the OCK-2 and the build quality is high.  Ill be using it with a Mutec MC3 +USB and Teac 701t.   Waiting for cables , but using a generic bnc to the mutec for a few days.   Build quality is high,  I have been skeptical of most Chinese brands,  often for good reason.   There are products that have questionable build quality but not this.  

I bought it after seeing some videos of Jay's CDTs and gave it a shot.  It feels like a luxury product, hopefully it's reliable... 

@oddiofyl I'm really happy with my OCK-2.  My son and I both feel that my system sounds as good as it ever has.  His hearing is excellent, so I often get his opinion.

What did you order for cables?  I'm using RG400 cables that I found on eBay.  Made in USA. I did a little reading on 50 ohm cables and the RG400 seems to be a good conductor.  I haven't done any comparisons, but these are well made and sound good. 

I used a company called pasternack.com in California.  They make a lot of different specialty cables.   

For the 50 Ohm cable I chose a cable with 50 Ohm BNC connections and a 50 Ohm cable rated to 4gHz bandwidth.   I did the same with the 75 Ohm cable.   I probably could spent half but I wanted the best quality for the $$$    if you want to go all out the have similar cables that are true mil spec.    Those were a lot more and I think my choice was probably  more than adequate. 

You can chose crimp, solder, in some cases low flux solder.  My 75 Ohm was $50 and change and the 50 Ohm was about $80

@oddiofyl Wow.  Looks like they can make just about anything. I'm guessing it's a much better deal than a branded audiophile cable. 

They look like good quality.  It's a digital pulse or wave they are sending to each device, not an audio signal so it should be fine if they are wide bandwidth and are the true impedance.  .  I bought a WireWorld BNC to RCA and it was $120 so it will be interesting to compare the Pasternack.com cables.
