In Reply to: Rubidium clock for Philips TDA1540?? posted by Tube747 on January 26, 2017 at 05:07:24:
Maybe, if you know the injection point and the clock frequency. You may need to divide the typical 10MHz or 5MHz clock output from the Rubidium oscillator down to the exact frequency required by your CDP. Rubidium clocks offer excellent long term accuracy but that says nothing for their jitter output (phase noise) which is based on an atomically disciplined crystal oscillator. Yes, the output of an Rb clock is actually a crystal oscillator.A Rubidium clock is probably not the cure all for improved sound in a CDP or DAC, but it is an exotic and costly add-on option (with questionable benefit) from some high-end 'audiophile' DAC manufacturers. Just my 2-cents worth.
There was a thread on this a while back.
