Word Clock for Esoteric DAC?

Antelope Audio supposedly makes some of the best.  But getting a master clock will not necessarily improve on what's already inside your unit, and according to real world tests make it perform worse, unless you are using your DAC in a studio and have lots of other gear in the chain.  The best way to improve the clock performance is to upgrade the clock inside your unit.

A good master world clock will cost you like a very good DAC with clock in the same unit. Maybe you can check out the Apogee, and/or the RME.

Just out of curiosity, why you need a master clock?

The clocks in even the cheapest high-run production units are exceedingly precise - the clock in your esoteric probably loses 1 bit every week, LITERALLY. 

there is no way this is audible

If anything they degrade quality from what I remember Dan Lavry posting a while back.

Hey googleli, well casea.eu is doing many modifications. People send them cd players for upgrades etc.. and in past somebody on our czech forum compared Esoteric D50 against CD player with Sirius 2. And CD player with Sirius 2 simply outperform it. So they have a lot of experiences and now they are doing synchro clocks for Sirius 2 = Cepheus mk2. But I don't know if they are selling clock modul as separate product. Contact them and talk what you exactly want, they are very helpful. 

If you saw the Sirius Synchro on their web. The clock modul is up on the left. It is definitely internal. I am sure you want external so it was the reason why I wrote you write them. Because this is probably only one quality clock for decent price and maybe a few others diy but I don't know.

Of course  me no too. But a little misunderstand Sirius 2 is upgrade for cheaper CD players it dont need clocks because it is already include. The Synchro is for external DAC Sirius 2.

I more thought that maybe they can create external version of their clock on order. But maybe I just telking stupidity I am not designer or constructer if it is real. You have to talk with them.

Check  out the ARTsyncGEN. But, why do you need one? Do you have a sync problem, that's to say, are you hearing pops while recording or distributing your digital output. Another solution is a V-LINK. Either of these solutions are only about $100.00US.

If you want to sell googleli on something, you'd better add a couple of zeros to the price tag, else it won't even come under his radar ;).

Googleli: forget about about the external clock, just upgrade to a P02/D02 already... I heard it at the Tokyo audio show last week, it was pretty magical ;).
