Please

Any users with LHY OCK-1 here saying that the sound is better than no Master Clock?
-Like obvious difference?

I think Im going for OCK-1 instead of OCK-2. But all I see is output on all three BNC ports. 2 sine and 1 square.

I need help for this setup:
DAC: R8HE mk2(75OHM)
DDC: DI20HE (75Ohm) it has a clock and 10mhz bnc connector
MCLK: LHY OCK-1. Will I be able to run square?
How many bnc 75ohm cables do I need?

Assuming your R8 takes clock input, you need one 75ohm BNC from ock1 to DAC (sine or square), and 1 75ohm BNC from ock1 (sine or square) to DI20. After about 30min. Of running with ock1, you can switch the BNC cables and be able to tell which (sine or square) option can provide better sound that you like.

Ok I see so each device only has one connection/clock/cable?

I thought the master clock was going to have 2

This clock thing is the last thing, If you guys invent/find other things to connect for improving the sound Imma leave this forum....even pasta/spaghetti is getting expensive guys, I can not follow you anymore

Ock1 has 3, your set up only requires 2 of the 3, unless your source/streamer can take a clock signal which is not common.

Btw, if you turn off your system, the sequence to turn on my system that works best is:
1-clock
2-DAC
3-DI20He
4-source

Awesome thanks!!!
I was thinking about this today. I usually do this in the studio, to save studio monitors from the pop sounds

So the ock-1 supports 3 devices?

I usually do not switch off the clock, because it takes sometime to settle in and reach its optimal working condition. This is based on I listen to my audio gears almost everyday.

Agreed, for those who are mainly using AGD gears, which are designed to be left on for extended periods of time, you can leave the system on 24/7. However, in my case, I am using triodes (vacuum tube), so I don't want to leave my tubes on at all time. It takes about 30 mins to warm up tubes and 30 min for the clock warm up time is not too bad.

This thread is a work of genius. I followed the advice above and uninstalled the Amanero Windows driver. I then reinstalled it, with the HDMI cable in place between the DI20 and the R7, and with both the DI20 and R7 switched on. Although the driver download looked exactly the same to me, and I’m using the Combo384 ASIO driver in HQ Player as before (not WASAPI), something else must have been added for HDMI. Because the HDMI i2s connection now works .

Thanks to all for your help. Very happy about this.

Incidentally I never go above 384. Most of my listening is to 192 max.

BNC/Impedance:

I don’t see how much of a difference a connector make as long as the circuit/inside is the one that has been decided.

50 or 75 they both fit right?

(I bet the connectors were made, to distinguish between the cables impedance: 50 or 75)

If you look at the connectors, the fit is not perfect when plugs are not used with the correct socket.

It works. But when people are spending thousand(s) of euros/dollars/pounds for something, it ought to be done correctly. It isn't any more expensive to do it the right way.

I should have stayed with 50Ohms then. To get the perfect fit. The connector is 50Ohm.

I thought you ordered them as 75 ohms?

I dont think they are changing the connector. I hate this confusion

Only the circuit.

Just ask Magna to change the connectors to 75 ohm. It is not a big deal.

Anyway yeah, this is what I have been saying- that going against the 75 ohm clock standard was a big mistake and totally unnecessary.

They told me that this is not easy for them to do, so I kept it that way. They only changed the impedance internally.
The fact that Magna, LHY and Beatechnik all confirmed that this should be no problem reassures me. I for once avoided the OCD that I am naturally prone to.
