But the Canare LV-77S sounds better! Trust your ears, it's not just about measurements.

MartinT Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I heard quite clearly the upgrade in sound quality between LV-61S and LV-77S. It's a surprise playing with different cables. The Belden 4694R sounds different again.

Given we have the figures for both the Bedlen 1694A and Canare LV-77S, which of the two would he recommend over the other? It's really the Belden 4694R that should be compared with the Canare LV-77S. And they sound really close albeit slightly different in character. 1694A is a lesser cable and sounds inferior.

Jorge, it looks like you have the RS-232 programmable version. Those two other outputs have their frequency programmable via the serial port.

MartinT Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Sound quality is going to be dependent on the consistency and noise at the exact trigger point threshold of the clock receiving equipment. Whether the clock is square or sine doesn't matter at that level. At the point of crossing the trigger point, how much jitter and phase noise there is superimposed on the signal (remember, it's an analogue signal) will count for a lot, because it will determine the amount of uncertainty. Also, consistency from one crossing point to the next, which depends on the receiving circuit design.

MartinT Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I can only say that sine with the filter sounds better than square with my BG7TBL clock. Same (good) cables. Not just a bit better - it's quite noticeable.

MartinT Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 That makes sense. The Belden 4694R cables are pretty well shielded and show it in the results.

Popular Post MartinT Posted May 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2021 All DACs will claim jitter reduction by dint of input buffering. It doesn't stop any ground plane noise from getting in, though.

Via a reclocker like ER or Mutec, the output will have less jitter and phase noise. You can't reclock to better than the clock accuracy. Getting rid of ground plane noise requires very good grounding connection or grounding boxes. Both of these contribute to the ultimate sound quality.
