Differences in clock cables?


I am wondering if anyone has done any testing, experimenting with different clock cables? Have you found any significant change? I currently have a pair of Oyaide 510 cables which are very nice silver cables.. Most of my interconnect is Wireworld so would getting some Gold Starlight 10's be an improvement or is there little change in clock cables effect on the overall sound? Thanks.

Digital signal transmission is settled science. The 0's and 1's of the binary code don't care whether the cable costs $10 or $1000.

I don’t have a word clock, I have a master clock. A 10 MHz master clock is far superior to a word clock, which usually requires two clock cables.None of your equipment has clock inputs, you must have word or master clock inputs to use a clock.

It would be best to have a streamer with a clock and secondly a CD/SACD.

A DAC will not usually benefit from a clock.

Apologies for my system it hasn’t been upgraded for a long time.

The core of my system is Aurender N20 with master clock coupled to a Plixir 12v DC LPS. My DAC is a Musetec MH-005.

I recommend putting a SR fuse in your DAC.

Cybershaft in Japan make good clocks at reasonable prices.

Pasternack.com has a number of cables that are suitable for clock cables.  Don't need to spend  a ton on cables, they have true 75 and 50 ohm cables.  

Wireworld cables are good.  I have a Starlight 8 that is terminated with BNC on one end and RCA for the other.   

Disagree that dacs will not usually benefit from a clock. One should research the I2S clock within their dac or dac they're considering purchasing. The I2S clock will always be the final clock in any clock chain, native data path within dacs. There is much potential of one being able to better dac internal clock using an external clock via I2S interface. This assumes dac has I2S input, point moot without this. IMO every dac should provide this, otherwise I want to see a quality OXCO clock with quality power supply to that clock within my dac to assure highest potential sound quality, minus this that dac is not achieving highest potential SQ.
