Cybershaft platinum clock + Mutec MC3+USB : wow!

[dancause]

Well, I have just connected my newly received Cybershaft Platinum clock. Added to the Mutec MC3+USB + SMS-200 ultra + Lush, this is quite unbelievable.  This clock is worth 2-3 times its price when I compare to DACs, amps and powercords costs...  Not saying these components are not worth their price (quite the contrary!) but really, I didn't know the rest of my system could sound like this...

 

I don't have enough words to describe the complexity, control and realism that gets out of my speakers...   I can just say that this translates into some kind of relaxed tranquility when I let the music play. No more underlying stress searching for something that is not really there..

 

This took a lot of reading of infinite forum threads...   :-)

 

That said, I really want to thank those who are taking time to explore new tweaks and components and take time to write about their findings.  

What I hear today is the result of this communities' work and exploration!  Thank you all!

Yes +/- with the yen conversion.  Many discussion about it elsewhere in this forum.

 

I just wanted to add my experience for those who were wondering if it was worth it.

[dancause]

:-) it's not getting out of my house.  

 

I'm not here to argue. I believe my ears and want to share a bit of my findings. That's all. 

 

A couple of months ago, I also thought I had reach the max my system could offer and that no gizmo could improve it. It seems not with this..

Only on the Mutec.  Sadly, I did not chose the connector option when I bought the Ultra.  That said (and maybe I'm auto convincing myself), it seems right to use the only connector from the Cybershaft to connect to what is the closest to my dac.

ordered 2 weeks ago, US/Can voltage with a 50ohm cable. Very very kind and efficient service.  Took 5 days to ship from Japan to Quebec city..

[dancause]

yes, just before the dac.

 

a bit along what @SwissBear suggested here :

Hi, soundlogic,

 

no the cybershaft is used as it is, with a 50ohm cable provided by Cybershaft (I read elsewhere that they were not bad at all). I specified that the clock would be used with the mutec which has a 75ohm connector.  Kenji Hasegawa from Cybershaft assured me that this would work well and it seems to be so. 

 

The clock has been running for 3 days now. Everything slowly is improving, with more detail and more finess. 

 

I will report if this still improves later on in the first 30 days. 

 

Cheers!
