ElviaCaprice Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Would be interesting to get some measurements from SoTM and their newer SClock Ex board, which they are implementing into their Ultra lineup of components. Roy (Romaz) has found them to make a significant difference in his system, Ethernet and USB. Guess we will find out soon as far as mobo also.

ElviaCaprice Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Well, from a technical perspective, we don't know what all the clocking can do for streaming audio? From a listening perspective, I trust Romaz's ears and he finds it's making a big difference in SQ, at least with the sotm new clocks. I'm sure the Chord DAVE has excellent clocks, so how that relates to external clocking of the USB stream and it's relation??? But it seems to make a big difference and that is all that matters to me. johndoe21ro 1 (JRiver) Jetway barebones NUC (mod 3 sCLK-EX, Cybershaft OP 14) (PH SR7) => mini pcie adapter to PCIe 1X => tXUSBexp PCIe card (mod sCLK-EX) (PH SR7) => (USPCB) Chord DAVE => Omega Super 8XRS/REL t5i (All powered thru Topaz Isolation Transformer) Link to comment

This article fails to even mention the DAVE's clocking. The real question is why does, what appears to be, great additional clocking outside the DAC make a big difference in SQ with the DAVE?
