They finally have European sources for the LHY. I'll pick one up when I get back, I'm away on business now.

I'm peeved they have only one square wave output. Later I'll write and see if they can build one with 2 75ohm and 1 50ohm outputs, all square wave.

There's a good lesson there. At some point you have to start spending huge money for incremental gains.

The LHY build looks better than Aune. I would pass on the latter.

Reading the posts on the thread about the LHY, it seems more safe to buy it from Beatechnik.
I need to choose between 75 Ohm and 50 Ohm outputs.

I have only two devices in my setup with a 10 MHz input: the DI-20HE and EtherRegen. Furthermore, I'm planning to upgrade in the future to a DAC with a 10 MHz input.

Any advises for the output impedance that I should select for the LHY?

I see authorized European distributors on the beatechnik site. I can't buy from Singapore, it would cost me at least 2X.

if you're going with Audio-gd or consumer gear, 50 ohms all the way.

I have pro gear which is all 75 ohm, plus Audio-gd gear. That makes it a lot harder until I spring for the Mutec clock.

I guess there's the Gustard C2 cable to the rescue if you put stock in their impedance matching claims. It certainly sounds good but is a bit spendy.

Don't listen to anyone, get it from Ali, great LHY clock, works great.

Not that simple. F.i. the R8HE Mk2 will be 75 Ohm when you opt for the EC (external clock) option, which is user selectable via firmware. Also, the DI-20HE can be easily ordered with 75 Ohm.

Shipping from Russia?
The Aliexpress ones do not seem to offer the 75 Ohm option that Beatechnik offers?

From China. Yes, only 50 ohms. But I would check with the seller on the Ali website.

I have decided to go for the matrix spdif2, because Im concidering not selling my TT2, It sound so sweet, I can not give it up.

When I get the R8HE mk2 it will be connected to the I2S and the TT2 optical.

What do you guys think of this.....

What DDC could be a better option that has optical and I2S?....not interested in Singxer....denafrips?

Optical should work fine if the source is decent. The mkii redoes the timing entirely. Plus you will avoid ground loops.

They likely can do a mix of both.

If I save 350euro(douk) for almost same performance I am happy. This means I will get R8HE mk2 sooner

@gimmeheadroom thanks!

Who can do that? Beatechnik?

Yes, i would ask for it. Try also with ali. They sure can do it on Beatechnik.

Thanks.
I sent a message to Beatechnik, asking if it's possible.
I will report their answer.

I'll also try with Ali.
