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

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. |
@lordmelton thank you for your response. The Aurender N20 is on my very short list of potential streamer upgrades. Which master clock do you use with the N20? As a side note, I do have an SR fuse in the Pass XA-25. I purchased the amp used and it came with the fuse. |
My master clock is not available anymore but I recommend Cybershaft However get your own clock cables and DC cables and power supply I meant to say put a SR master fuse in your DAC it will make an incredible difference. I find with the N20 I get best results when I play CDs (PCM) through AES/EBU and DSD through USB. @sns is talking about an I2s clock, this doesn't apply to you because your DAC doesn't have an I2s input, and it's not really a clock anyway, it's a USB to I2s converter. Good Luck
