Hi,

I want details for my ER.

1- Etherregen is 75 ohm. The afterdark is 50 ohm. Does the adapator degrade the signal?
2- The QUEEN -SQUARE WAVE 75OHM SPECIAL EDITION is that it is directly into 75 ohm, no need for the adapter?
What is the difference with the other versions?
3-Uptone says on their site that there is no need to add an external clock. He changed his mind with your AfterDark external clock?

 

merci

Dear Adrian,

 

This mail thread was created for technical information exchange.

 

<T001> Impedance matching of external clock input of Uptone EtherREGEN

 

We report using our product CYB-MA01 to make the external clock input of EtherREGEN with 75ohm impedance compatible with 50ohm.

We used the 75ohm EtherREGEN you arranged for us in July.

By installing CYB-MA01 for EtherREGEN 75ohm external clock input, SWR = 1.0225, showing very good matching.

( The characteristics of SWR = 1.0225 are comparable to inconsistencies on a 1m cable, for example. It's a very small value. )

 

This data and photos can be shared and reprinted by you and us.

 

We hope that this information will be useful to you and your customers.

 

We hope that you and we will post new technical information to each other in this email thread.

 

Best regards,

Kenji Hasegawa

Question 2:  The QUEEN -SQUARE WAVE 75OHM SPECIAL EDITION is that it is directly into 75 ohm, no need for the adapter? 

 

• Yes, Square Wave version is in 75ohm and no adaptor is required, which is special edition for EtherREGEN.

 

Question 3: Uptone says on their site that there is no need to add an external clock. He changed his mind with your AfterDark external clock?

 

• We receive a lot of customer feedbacks, the Giesemann Clock is much better, cannot live without it
• For customer, if using Mutec MC3-USB, upgrade with Giesemann Clock is the best option for improve their audiophile system.

Hi Adrian,

Looks like that Geisemann clock that I got cannot work with my dCS Network Bridge. I'm emailing with Frank back and forth in order to find the best solution for me. I'm looking at  Giesemann Word Clock x 10M Master Clock for dCS system and it seems that this is something that will work for me. I'm interested in price for Emperor Double Crown. Please advise

 

Thanks

 

Hi! MarkoL,

 

Thanks for your question. We are sorry to hear that the last order item was not working for your dCS NB. We have communicated with Frank our US dealer to give you the best solution for upgrade. I shall email you for the trade-in arrangements. Let me explains some of the features.  

 

AFTERDARK. PROJECT CLAYX GIESEMANN WORD CLOCK X 10M MASTER CLOCK FOR DCS SYSTEM

 

The new version is tailor made for one of our customer which he use dCS before, and his old Mutec MC3 dead, so he want to use Giesemann with word clock output from the OCXO, so we build him a very first unit last month. 

 

This version has three outputs:   

 

Output 1:  Word Clock 44.1Mhz 

Output 2:  Word Clock 48Mhz 

Output 3:  10M Master Clock 

 

Output 1 and 2 can be plug into dCS NB, plug and play and sync in a second.

Output 3 can be utilised in the future devices, such as EtherREGEN, Mutec MC3-USB

 

So, we can have every devices sync with single Giesemann Clock. 

 

The Emperor Double Crown is an excellent choices. The improvement will be huge when you have high resolution system. 

 

Thanks for your interested and have a nice day.

 

Best Regards,

Adrian
