Am I missing something?

I think it's called the "placebo effect." This device or its predecessor, was introduced about 12 years ago, and was duly noted by the reviewers. Needless to say it never caught on . . . . .I wonder why.

Have you considered one of those "magic chips" to put on top of your CD player?

I agree with Nsgarch.

I don't believe that battery powered clock could provide any improvement in an audio system other than letting you know how long you've been listening.

There was a "plug in" clock sold by Tice some years ago. Tice also built power conditioning products, the most famous were the Power Block and Titan.

After all the overblown claims for the Tice clock, an engineer friend of mine took one apart and discovered it had a similar (but lesser) effect than Quiet Lines. Basically it was a clock with a cap and resistor that loaded the AC line, providing a small amount of noise reduction.

I find the Quiet Line filters to be more effective, especially if you use enough of them.

Tice Clock owners are all going to say, "Told ya!!!!"

Not really.
