Pretty nice looking indeed Jamo.Here is my OCK-1 plots.
Not bad for a master clock in this low price range.

Maybe it explains the many posts where people said they preferred sinewave out of those clocks. Although the trailing edge of the square wave clock is sharp, I wonder if that rough leading edge could cause triggering issues.Here is my OCK-1 plots.

I'm still trying to figure out what HMS is. A Google search showed a variety of topics from political to academic related, or even Hour Minutes Seconds. Some seem to refer to HMS as a DDC, but others seem to refer to it as a cable. What is it, and is it still helpful if I have a well-implemented DI-20? I for one, if using an obscure acronym like to spell out when first referencing it.No, I do not. This is my first experience with Master Clocks. I chose it because of and owner's experiences and recommendation from this thread.
If I were going to take the next leap, it would be a big one towards something like CyberShaft OP20 or Mutec Ref10 SE120. Buy once, cry once.
That said, I'm very content and don't see needing to upgrade anytime soon.
Well the HMS does introduce jitter going through the dual BNCs, so I can't say I'm surprised. And this, at the last leg of the signal before the DAC.
Earlier I posted something about putting two Audio GD DI-20HE DDCs inbetween an HMS and TT2/Dave and syncing those to the Master Clock. This would get you a clean 16x upscaled signal through the dual BNC to the TT2/Dave.
Regarding the HMS, I've removed it from the chain and the sound is less dimensional—less so with DDC/ master clock present, but still... to me, HMS is essential kit.
Chord Hugo M-scalar is what I guess he must be referring in this context - a dedicated hardware upscaler in its own enclosure using Chord's proprietary hardware and algorithms.I'm still trying to figure out what HMS is.

Also, is there any new opinions of preference for the best affordable clock cable?
Hey thanks for sharing your observations.It seems to me that the OCK-1 is better when connected to a sine wave, although Audio-Gd prefers a square wave.
OCK-1 is much warmer, smoother compared to GUSTARD C18.
In my system I prefer GUSTARD c18 it is more detailed, transparent.
Anyway, the OCK-1 is unbeatable for the money.
My apologies, I hate acronyms too - it's easy to project on these threads and act as if everyone knows what you're talking about.I'm still trying to figure out what HMS is.
