I am considering getting the new Squeezebox modded. One guy in France who does these mods uses a word clock in the Squeezebox. I am know there are different types of clocks, but I do not understand the differences between them. I suspect if I get this modded in the states and wanted a clock upgrade they would use a superclock 3.
What are the differences between using a word clock in the SB vs a Superclock 3. Would one give significantly different performance over the other? When I have asked the guy in France (Dan Belitty) about his clock he responded "the input clock system we use in SB is our own development. (All is done in a microprocessor we program). We use a buffer multiplicator to use an external clock reference. We do not try to improve clock accuracy but to use the SAME clock signal for all digital unit of the audio system."
I am also curious as whether a clock upgrade would significantly improved the performance of the new SB 2 (when fed into a Ack Dack 2.0)? Sean Adams doesn't seem to think I would need a clock upgrade based on their new design. Just curious what the collective thought.
