Re: additional question, Gordon-My thoughts

DCS claims that their $10K external clock will improve the sound of their DACs but that is a pretty suspect statement.

It is rather hard to believe that a clock from an external box tranmsitted over a 3 foot cable with 2 connector in the middle ends up a the DAC chip in any better shape than a clock signal hardwired and located closely in the same box. If, however, the external clock truly improves the sound, I can't help to wonder how much better this could sound if they put the same clock inside the DAC.

Studio clocks are meaningful when you have to synchronize multiple pieces of equipment but for a playback chain I fail to see the benefit.
