In the case of their best DDC, the  Denafrips Gaia, it is designed to work in conjunction with their Terminator series DAC from which it is fed two word clock signals.

I am not affiliated with Denafrips but I think it's worth pointing out that there is a distinction between their Terminator vs Terminator-Plus DACs:

I believe it is only the Terminator-Plus which has the OCXO CLOCK-OUT that can be used to synchronize other connected devices.

 

As an aside, I recently acquired the AfterDark Giesemann OCXO clock (Emperor Signature) to pair with an EtherRegen and my Denafrips Pontus II, really enjoying the sound so far. Still within the first week of my burning in, hope to post a more detailed impression once everything settles. 

 

Cheers,

My clock arrived today. Thank you @Adrian. It sounds very promising so far. More natural music. 

I think you meant to tag @AfterDark.instead 😉

The clock (and PCB) he use offer square out, so it didn’t take him much effort to offer this.

 

Those that has purchased the Queen should open it, and confirm this. Don’t you ever think you got a special design clock. You never did. It’s all a standard available on AliExpress. 
 

(Nothing necessary wrong with that).

 

Given the serious implications of your claims, I think it is only fair to @AfterDark.that you post links to the Aliexpress clocks which you allege that Adrian is using.

 

Btw as far as I can recall from the various threads, I do not think that Adrian ever claimed that his higher tier clocks have any "special design", just good old calibration and measurements to meet the minimum stated specs of each specific tier.
