While I know the Antelope Audio OCXHD - 768kHz Master Clock is $500 more than the Live Clock, I'm told it has the auto sample rate change feature.

The downside is that it can't be powered by a linear power supply.

Thoughts?

With shipping and exchange rate approximately $1600.

Expensive - not out of this world expensive.  Looks interesting.

Got the DVS license working. Had to get a new from my dealer. I have start thinking I got a demo/used one instead of a new in box. The DVS token and the Ethernet cable was missing and the display has some very small marks in it. Is it possible to peal of? Is there some protective film on it?

The sound is getting better and better. The bass is still "big" and somewhat less articulate. Guess this will improve after 100 or so hours.

Yes the front has a plastic film on it. Took me a few days to recognize it. Look at the edges to see if plastic is slightly over the chasis.

Thanks Jabbr. I will try to remove the film.
 
I connected the Mutec MC3+ to the chain now. Almost sersory overload!! I know its very eary, but it sounds very, very, very good!
 
I used my "better" AES last in the chain, is this how you guys do it? I will of course experiment later on.
 
The chain now is:
 
Mac mini 2011 > Rednet ethernet 3 m > 16 R > Straightwire Info Link AES 1,5 m > Mutec MC3+ > Shunyata Anaconda AES 1,5 m > Berkeley Ref dac

As long as I'm asking questions, anyone have an opinion between the Grimm CC1 and the Live Clock, aside from the price?
 
Thanks,

Lead time on the Grimm was about 10 days to me as they were made to order when I was looking to purchase. Couldn't find one in stock so I went with the liveclock from sweetwater. I'd probably try one later out of curiosity.

Thanks RKML007,
 
I'm curious about people's opinion regarding sound quality.

It 's a clock, it doesn't have sound
But it is, arguably, about the best clock around.

Have you "listened"

to it or used it yourself?

Hey jabbr do you mind sharing clock sync info? This is what LiveClock does for my D16. It would be cool to compare with the Grimm.

Thanks!

Using my Grimm it says -30ppm.
I don't realy know what it signifies though.
Haven't read the manual on this.

Would do you think it means?

jabbr,
 
Can you tell me if the Grimm can be set to automatically change sample rates to match the incoming sample rate?
 
Thanks,

I already told you it does, it is called Slave mode.
Read the manual at least once please.

I think it just points out the specific frequency offset applied to sync the Rednet with your Grimm. I think its interesting to see the difference in correction being applied to our particular setups.

So maybe - if Grimm is the superior word clock, my LiveClock is off by ~4ppm hahaha. But that assumes that there aren't any D16 variances to consider.
