dCS’s Grade 1 Master Clock uses dual crystal oscillators to deliver a precise and stable clocking reference.
OVERVIEW
Used as part of a complete Lina system, it enhances all aspects of sound for an even more immersive listening experience: Allows the Lina Network DAC to be locked to a master reference signal for enhanced audio performance. Minimizes jitter and irregularities that can cause distortion.
FEATURES
Dual crystal oscillators - one for 44.1kHz and one for 48kHz - ensure accurate clocking for all audio formats and frequencies. Standalone design with dedicated chassis and electronics minimizes risk of clock signal interference.
Oven-controlled oscillators ensure a consistent and stable performance, even under changing conditions. Minimizes the risk of jitter and delivers a notable increase in sound quality when streaming or listening via USB.
Delivers clock signal accurate to > +/-1 ppm. Uses proprietary clocking technology refined over three decades, for unrivaled precision and longevity.
