Hi greetings !

How is the LHY Clock so far ?

Best !

Hello

I'm sorry, I don't have it...at the time of that post there was European distributor. I plan to get one later. 2 or 3 guys here did already.

 

[Mr Brett]

I just did it.
Has taken me five days to pull the pin (and sold an amp and a pair of headphones to help pay for it).

So just ordered an LHY OCK-1 from Beatechnik, and a Gustard C2 from Australia.

For what it's worth LHY warn against buying from Aliexpress (i got mine from LHY though a little more expensive), as there's no authorized vendors on there, though I've disregarded that advice for one of their other items.

I have a hard time finding there powersupply in europe:
https://www.beatechnik.com/product-page/lps80va

This says 80VA. If I choose 15V it will deliver 5.33A right?

Ask them. They state that 5A for 12V so... You should probably get 4A, at least.

They have European distributors now so you could just email them.

Personally I'm very against external power supplies. There's a healthy toroidal transformer in the LHY clock, if I get the LHY I'll use the internal power supply.

Click on the specs tab of that page at the bottom. Shows specs for a range of voltages if not 15v. Looks like those 80va options all calculate to around 60va rather than 80va (not sure why), so the 15v would be around 5A. Edit - meant 4amps!

15x4=60VA =4A?

If this is true its perfect.

EDIT: But this looks really good: 3 outputs: DC DC and USB

Yep, typo!

Hello I am having my DI20 (non-HE) with me for a year. Keep following the post here and pleased to learn from the sharings.

Learnt the positive comment from some of you, I ordered a LHY OCK-1. Waiting for its arrival after the long Chinese holdiay, I'm lucky the unit will be sent from LHY 4 hours driving distance away from my place.

Will share my listening experience when got it connected.

Some background info: it’s the first external clock in my system. I heard about how an external clock makes changes to sound quality but most of them cost over USD1,000 like the Cybershaft, Mutec, Grimm. No budget to try these.

The OCK-1 arrived earlier. It has been working together with my DI-20 for around 5 hours – with the power cord came with the package, a Black Cat Digi-75 75ohm BNC cable that is the only digital cable I have on hand. Plan to do some listening to it during the burn-in period then consider to purchase a 50 ohm one.

Impression: The improvement is noticeable, I describe it as a “fog remover”. Without changing the tonal balance and the your system’s presentation on “taste”, it gives:

- more solid outlines and imaging
- particular well in lower bass definition
- clearer layers. Depths both to the back and in front of the speakers.
- greater transient speed
- simply more real, not only the instrument itself but kind of telling the actions

After first 3 hours listening, I replaced the fuse (only a pc of 1A fuse at the IEC inlet) and it gave another change. Not to share here because change of fuse is more to personal tastes.

It’s all about a good valued product in the expensive HiFi world.

OCK-1 arrived yesterday and I concur with the previous poster. For me sinewave sounds better, probably system synergy or due to BNC cable (Cybershaft semi rigid).

That's a classy DAC you have there too, good to hear the OCK-1 can play well at that level. (Edit - I was thinking of the new DAC 200, but hear the DAC 8 is strong too)

If you haven't already try hooking the clock up to both your DDC and DAC, preferably with identical cables. I did this arvo for the first time, albeit non-matching cables, and resolution went up several notches. The Cybershaft cables sound the way to go for well priced performance.

Unfortunately DAC 8 DSD doesn't have word clock input. However for next DAC upgrade definitely a consideration.

The Mutec is about 5000 USD...
