Post Subject: It sounds stupid and irrational but who cares!Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/7/2006

T,

The phrase “"no measurable jitter” was actually the Ed Meitner quote and it was he himself who claimed that his transport and his DAC bound together via his C-clock interface have no measurable jitter. I have no reasons to disbelieve him regarding it as he would hardly make such a statement if it would not be true.  I do not know the details but I know that his DAC (Bidat) have no own clock and recognizes the tact frequency in the incoming stream. I know few other did it, never successfully, but the people who are familiar with the way “how” Meitner did it in the Bidat claim the it done very-very slick and very different. I can not comment more as I do not know “hows” and “whys”. However, regardless e correct was Meitner or not in his assessment of the C-clock jitter but I do feel that his transport was not really good transport and despite the alleged absent of jitter it did not sound satisfactory.

Regardless the rest. I clack that I used was Audiocom Superclock that most like is good clock. Powered I it from the 12.6V that I find in the CD player, perhaps it was not the best souse or perhaps it sunk voltage too much. Who know! The clock was properly installed and properly grounded (Dima supervised me and he is not just an armature audio-tweakers but the person who has no problems to design and built those clocks from scratch). The problem was that the actual horrifying sound of this thing so hugely demoralized me that I have no motivation or encouragement to do anything else with it.  The guy who sold me the clack suggested to power it form DC but I really do not know what it would take for me to do it again….
