I don't think anyone is hooking there equipment up to O Scopes. Well they probably are but not your average person who is buying entry level and mid grade stuff like this
How does the Modi 2 Uber compare to the HRT Music Streamer II+?

I don't mind one way or the other, I'm just sitting here watching from a Auto/Transportation Industry point of view: we would've built-in a triplicates of choice & price! The marketplace loves three choices, the cheap one with roll up windows and no AC will sell quite well in the poor markets and provide Price Leader positioning.
Mr.StanD,
I think you have a valid point. How much PPM deviation is something that is not accurately described without getting inside the Designers Laboratory and cornering their research teams on the matter.
MSB are quoting these things in their descriptions of their Clock research and their three Clock models. If you are engineer enough to understand these things you can contact them and they will respond. I think they are discussing the actual number in their descriptions, usually I see it as pico seconds and "under Picoseconds" type of accuracy levels.
WWV in Ft.Collins is the big Hewlet Packard Atomic Clock that provides the World Standard for Time, I don't know if it is as stable or accurate as the Clocks that MSB or Antelope use, however you can access the WWV standard for calibration use via a 10 Mhz. Shortwave Receiver. I think WWV broadcasts on all multiples of 5 Mhz in standard Amplitude Modulation ( AM ) with the Carrier being the actual accurate signal. They also broadcast standard calibrated Audio Tones which are useful for instrumentation calibrations, hence the term: "traceable" being used in the instrumentation world.
I am not a Clock specialist, I only am aware. I do know that the MSB people are way advanced in the World of Accurate Cocking , these lads are leading authorities who sell their expertise and contract design for anyone with the need.

So what exactly is the advantage of this new UBER Modi 2 over the original Modi, other than all the new options? I see the same DAC chip is used but the firmware is significantly different.
I'm very tempted to do exactly this. I'm a software engineer, but I work at a company that does hardware and software, and our hardware team does things with RF and intermediate frequencies with much higher requirements than audio gear. I'd love to sic our hardware engineers on audio gear! Or at least find out how my gear is performing.
