So I guess no one talks about drift?
The most important spec for an audio grade clock is its output spectral āpurityā (i.e. jitter figures). The clock drift spec (i.e. long term stability) is irrelevant for audio, eventhough such a clock is highly stable by nature.
You have two issues here.
- The clock itself.
- Synchronization between multiple clocks in the chain.
Drift is solved by a periodic sync against a network clock.
As to having an accurate time signalā¦ after a certain point, youāll never hear the impact of the jitter.
May be in a recording / production studioā¦ But not on our side of the chain !
The only thing that matters is the spectral purity of the clock signal (related to but not the jitter itself).

There is no such thing as āaudio grade clockā and āspectral purity of the clock signal (related to but not the jitter itself)ā is just some meaningless drivel.
The only thing that matters is the stability of the clock in the DAC (with possibly the clock at the source, if you are using a crap DAC with no buffering/reclocking and something as useless as I2S for connection).
Synchronization between āmultiple clocks in the chainā is useless in home playback, and people paying for equipment with fancy external clocks, let alone network switches (sic!) with āaudio grade clocksā are, simply said, idiots.

Hi Boris,
How right you are again.
Boris, you keep trying to open peopleās eyes, but they seem to be blind.
Let them waste their money if their delusion that it sounds better is stronger.
Then ignorance sets in here in the forum, and since people run out of arguments (which they might not even have due to their lack of knowledge), they always try to make you look bad.
Lyngdorf 3400 is running perfectly with RoomPerfect, Roon & Qobuz
Have a great rest of the weekā¦

Nah, thatās useless. If one believes in those clocks, magical fuses, or directional Cat 7 Ethernet cables āfor audioā they are quite beyond any help.
Of course it would!

Whatās the matter Boris?
CAT got your tongue?
I kid , I kidā¦
Now Boris, there are two things to think about when talking about the clockā¦ Accuracy and then jitter.
(I wonāt go into drift ā¦)
Now depending on how much jitter there is you can smear the signal.
In most thingsā¦ it doesnāt matter. You canāt hear it. Howeverā¦ on cheap clocksā¦ it could impact sound depending on the accuracy and jitter. (This is where drift can come in to play.)
If someone wants to chase down and spend a ton of money for a more accurate clockā¦ its their money.
Uh huh.
How many of these do you have? They are for sale, too.

Youād better notā¦
Sure, if you manage to find something cheaper than a phone dongle from AliExpress (well, or anything from iFi). Not really an issue for anything else.
Certainly. Just like one can pay for āCat 7ā cables that arenāt, stand-alone digital transports, or what not. Their money. They just donāt get to claim that any of that has any audible, let alone beneficial effect on the sound.
Borisā¦
I think I have a coupleā¦ but I got rid of a lot of my older cables and replaced them w CAT 8 when I purchased my 10GbE switch.
And clearly you havenāt learned anything.
You can choose to spend X, while someone else decides to spend Y.
If you want to go cheapā¦ thatās your call.
If you want to spend more and get better quality components. Thatās your call.
If all you can do is bash Rose, please go away. Its one thing to be critical, but clearly you go beyond that.

Here you need one of these:
Note that its not an expensive clock but the jitter is ~75ps .
Youāre not going to be able to hear that.
Thereās more but if you think youāll enjoy the music more w a better clock in the mix.
Go for it.
Yet more unpleasantness from Boris. This seems to be his motivationā¦

You are exceptionally childish! Your attempts to be irritating are just a simple curiosity to me, as it isn;t every day that badly behaved children throw their own poo and then giggle about their proudest achievement! You get a gold star for failing to embrace adulthood.

First of all: You have zero idea/knowledge of my intelligence, life, or accomplishments.
And yet, you come here and repeatedly demonstrate that your internal emotional maldevelopment demands that you fling poo.
The bottom-line: We know everything we need to know about you, and you know nothing but demand to demonstrate your disfunction repeatedly, and without any actual value.
You use the word āidiotā so often, we are becoming clear that you have been neglected by your mother and browbeaten by your father. That word (āidiotā) appears deeply beaten into you ā it demands you let it out. But after countless ejaculations, its still firmly part of your psyche, perhaps the dominant part of you.
You repeatedly evidence zero value added to the community, thus we question your presence.
Chances are excellent that you have achieved nothing in your life and that your future looks even bleaker since you are compelled to post unpleasant and nonsensical comments rather than anything of value ā it is likely that these comments of yours are your sole achievement. Which appears sad from the outside ā but it surely gives you joy and a sense of having done āsomethingā with your day.
Your life is a tragedy, one that you seek to overcome by choosing to inflict unpleasantness on others. ā¦The thing is: we really donāt care when a psychotic nitwit insults us. We do hope that there are no tender children living next door to you.
