Adding Esoteric G-03X Clock to X03-SE cd player

Guido,
The only comment I'll make in this thread is it's ridiculous for somebody with extremely limited Esoteric experience to suggest that a cd player should not be purchased without an external clock.

Actually it's not ridiculous.

It's ignorant.

Dealer disclaimer

Audiofiel,

Obviously you have been misleading a lot of yor customers.

I suggest you take a flight,go to Japan.You would find that MOST Japanese Esoterics owners will Use their machines with a n external clock..Now,the improvements ina well set system[by someone who obviously know how to set a system} is not subtle.It removes the digital grudges out.To some,this is crucial;but to you ,obviously this is not important.

If you are Really a dealer for Esoterics why not contact them yourself and find out for certain.Obvious to me now you are not as experience as you make out to be,

ROOr,

these are the improvements you would expect from adding an external clock;

1.More naturalness i.e. closer to analogue .This you would not be able to hear if you use class D amp.

2.More air and space around the instuments.

3.Better timing to the music.

as you can seen ,these are not slap in your face differance that dealers generally love to demo,but crucial IMO to long term system satisfactions.

Generally ,the above benefits are seen in most digital player,BUT more so in Esoterics machines.

Most Esoterics owners in Japan match their gears with Tubes amps,(Not digital amp )

Fafafion - I don't question that you hear what your hear, but I was wondering how you could possibly know what MOST Esoteric users in Japan were purchasing and how they match their systems? Just curious.

Gentlemen,

Some single box players can benefit from reclocking data when slaved to a superior external clock. That is why some have clock I/O connections. The performance of these units will improve when the data is clocked at a more precise rate. If the internal clock of the single box player is superior to that of the external clock then it reults in worse sound. Timing errors are also present in some single box players where the drives and DACs are not clocked at the same rate.

Digital separates without both synching is fraught with timing errors that can result in less than stellar sound quality.
