CH Precision C1 DAC x Giesemann OCXO 10M Master Clock Extreme Edition

[AfterDark.]

CH Precision C1 DAC x Giesemann OCXO 10M Master Clock Extreme Edition  

 

This version is designed for CH Precision to enhance the integrity of the signal, the top of the line Giesemann OCXO ensure the accuracy of the master clock prodvide a time domain reference for reading data, its transfer and decoding. As a result, the Master Clock could minimize jitter and ensure the improvement on sounding.

 

The Giesemann EVA OCXO Master Clock is designed to generate a very accurate, ultra low phase noise 10M Master Clock signal that delivers more accurate transfer and conversion of digital signals. 

 

The addition of the external 10M Master Clock can improve the soundstage and details of the CH Precision C1, the extraction of details from the background is just amazing and help the CH Precision C1 to achieve the maxmium potential, balanced with enhanced timbre, full tone, and escpecially pace, rhythm and timing. 

 

 

All digital input of CH Precision C1 included:  Roon Ready, Streaming HD, CH-Link HD, AES/EBU, S/PDIF and TosLink digital inputs will be benefit with Clock-Sync board, from the use of Giesemann OCXO 10MHz Reference Master Clock.

What is the range of Giesemann OCXO grade can be choose?

• All grades of Giesemann OCXO from Prince to Emperor Giesemann EVA can be made to order for customers
• For CH Precision C1 customers, we recommended Giesemann EVA to unlock the performance of C1.

 

What is the specification to determined the Quality of OCXO?

• They can be graded by Phase Noise when compared the measurement result on both 1Hz / 10Hz intervals.
• Phase noise: -119 to -113 dBc / Hz or lower at 1 Hz offset (Grades) -137 dBc / Hz or lower at 10 Hz offset

 

GRADE	Phase Noise@ 10Hz	Phase Noise@ 1Hz
PRINCE	-131	-100
QUEEN	-132	-103
KING	-134	-107
Emperor Signature	-138	-110
Emperor CROWN	-140	-113
Emperor DOUBLE CROWN	-141	-117
Emperor TRIPLE CROWN	-142	-118
Emperor Giesemann	-143	-120
Emperor Giesemann EVA	-145	-121

 

Allan variance short-term stability reference value

[Emperor Giesemann EVA]TAU = 1sec 2.50E-13 or less（0.00025ppb / s）

[Emperor Giesemann] TAU = 1sec 2.78E-13 or less（0.00028ppb / s）
[Emperor Triple Crown] TAU = 1sec 3.8E-13 or less（0.00038ppb / s）

 

What is the recommended frequency for work with CH Precsion C1?

• Reference Clock: 10M Master Clock 

 

What is the specification compared to CH Precision T1?

• 
• 
• When we compare the quality of OCXO, Phase noise performances in 1Hz and 10Hz are the most important indicators. The lowest -negative value is better quality. 
• The Phase noise performance of AfterDark. Emperor Giesemann EVA is signaficantly better with Phase Noise measured as -121dBC/Hz@1Hz and -145dBC/Hz@10Hz 
• The Giesemann Clock may be the best alternative when compared with CH Precision T1 Time Reference. 

 

Why it is important to use external Master Clock for CH Precision C1?

• This is a night and day difference, and Master Clock unlock the full potential on CH Precision C1
• Giesemann Clock is the heart of any digital audio system. It sets the tempo of all the digital pieces of audio equipment in a audiophile system.
• Based on ultra high precision, the Giesemann clock OCXO is extreme low in phase noise in 1Hz and 10Hz interval. It brings the pivotal timing accuracy that enable DAC, Music Streamer and any digital audio product equipped with a SYNC input to function optimally.

Giesemann OCXO Features 

The product uses the selected audio grade OCXO, and through long-term calibration to select and install equipment with excellent stability.

• OCXO that employs with qualitative measure equipment.
• OCXO is enclosed and covered with Dynamat Extreme Corporation (Made in USA) which is used to stabilize and minimize heat separation,  addition EMI material from KEMET EMI Shielding is placed on top of OCXO,  the outer layer is covered with real leather to isolate the heat factors for maximizing OCXO performance . 
• Alu material + Carbon Fiber material front and backplate, solid anti-vibration. In addition, due to the thickness used, 3mm / 6mm Carbon Fiber material material with plate can provide solid EMI/ magnetic coverage.
• Advanced instrument Symmetricom 5125A calibrated with plotted characteristics. The phase noise, and Allen Derivation defines different grades of the OCXO. 
• Audio Note Silver Solder
• Duelund AC0.4 Silver Premium Audio Cable (Silver in Cotton / Oil impregnated) (Handmade in Denmark)
• Ultra High Quality Large Factor 5151 SC Cut OCXO, very low phase noise and frequency stability compared to others small size OCXO specification 
• SC Cut refers to stress compensated (SC) cut crystal resonators, which is more advance on performance of Frequency Vs Temperature changes, longer Crystal Aging. The pro is expensive to made and size is larger then normal OCXO. 
• Then Large Factor size 5151 is around 5cm x 5cm dimension vs small factor 3cm x 2cm, 2 times bigger with better phase noise performances. 
• OCXO are available in tailor made on various audio frequencies on special request. 

 

Level selection value
The OCXO installed in the product can calibrate the products used in industrial equipment for a long time, and use equipment with good characteristics. In order to optimally select the audio clock, we comprehensively evaluate with Symmetricom Flagship 5125A to analysis the phase noise characteristics and short-term stability (Allen dispersion) that can be determinate the OCXO grading accordingly.

The OCXO installed in this product uses a stable OCXO unit that has been calibrated for several months. In order to make the best choice of OCXO. We are conducting a comprehensive evaluation of phase noise characteristics and short-term stability (Allen dispersion) during detailed inspection. 

The final product will final measured and fine tuned with Keysight 53220A with reference to Atomic Clock , GPSDO.
