110db at 1hz from memory?

Edit 1. I see their website now says 118db, though unless my memory is playing tricks or I wasn't wearing glasses I'm sure it did say 110db. As that was the figure I cross checked to the afterdark clock specs table before pulling the trigger. Quite agree though re value - if either figure is accurate.

Edit 2 - good to see on this occasion my memory wasn't faulty - it was -110db/ 1hz per @DACLadder here.

Aaand.. edit #3 - OK, I'm not super familiar with Afterdark's pricing being pretty new to this clock business, so may be imagining things, but have they just dropped their pricing a fair bit?

Don't think so, they have issues with their website. The top 3-output is 3800usd. The -110db one is 2300.

As for 110dB for the cheap one, it's the figure you find on Ali. This website states -118dB.

Yes, I acknowledge it says -118db on their website now, my point was both I and dacladder previously went to their website (which is where I bought mine from, I never looked at Aliexpress) which used to say -110db.

Anyway, it's a moot point, as I bought it, it sounds great, even better now with the C2 cable. I'll be interested in the phase noise chart if you manage to get it - so good luck with that.

Re Afterdark website pricing being skew-wiff - ah I see, the top three are still showing as <USD1k on the product page, but when you go through to checkout it corrects to USD2k+.

Yep, the figure was -110dB and then was updated to -118dB. Afterdark has competition now, including the c18. And of course the LHY OCK-1.

Indeed, the c2 cable is a keeper!

Ansuz Mainz C2?

Ansuz Mainz C2?

The Gustard C2 BNC master clock / digital cable.

Though you make me realize I'm just using a generic power cable for my clock. This could get expensive.

I have a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra as my first streamer.
For price and size, it's very good.
Run a Mad Scientist Black Magic Ultra USB to the DI-20HE.

I also have an Aqvox USB 5v linear power supply (Type A female).
Used it to good effect with my Halide Bridge from MacBook to Dac.
I was wondering if using the Aqvox lps with the USB cable from the Project to the DI-20HE would be of any benefit?

After all this chatter, ordered the LHY clock from Beattechnik. I didnt want to risk buying a copy, as I was stung before on Aliexpress. Its on its way, planning to use it with my U18 DDC, to which i will plan to upgrade to a DI-20HE next year.

I got a reply from the Beatechnik: "We have verified the specs with LHY Audio, it is -110dBc. However, we were told that it rivals Cybershalf OP13/14 Master Clock."

Hello,
I'm new to this forum, and I have a DI-20HE. I read the posts about the LHY clock, and found them interesting.
How do you power this Master clock? What is the voltage that is required for the LPS?

Welcome
I believe the LHY has AC input and an internal DC stage, so no need for an additional LPS.

Indeed.

Now I can read -110db on their website

I just told Alvin, the guy who answers the emails, to do so. It's just normal to post the real figure. The clock is still a great value.

As FredA says still great value (and cheers for getting the specs page corrected).

Unsure why they'd refer those particular Cybershaft models with -113 to -115 1hz phase noise rather than the slightly lower models. Suspect the quoted -110db is a minimum (max noise level) to allow for model variation. From Cybershaft's jp website:

For now, unless FredA manages to procure a phase noise plot I'll just assume it's -110db and more to the point continue to enjoy the great improvements it brings to my system.

I don’t think i’ll get it.
