DCS Rossini and master clock questions


Hi.  I recently bought a Rossini DAC and clock.  I have just the stock power cord with the clock.  I am curious what other owners think of the improvements a better power cord makes with the clock.  I put a synergistic gallileo power cord on my previous DAC and wow I was really impressed.  Just wondering if it makes much difference on the clock and also what about the digital cords that run from the clock to DAC do you see an improvement over stock with those?

Actually dCS own (John Quick) advice is that the first power cord you should upgrade in any dCS stack is that of the clock. I own a Vivaldi stack with an additional 10MHz reference clock and both that and the dCS clock benefit from upgraded power cords. The effect is not subtle.

The same is true of the BNC connection from clock to DAC as well, good low cost options include the Black Cat but I swear by Transparent Ref XL, which will of course cost you 😉

You should also look into using alternative footers under the clock as well and definitely never stack the two as is often shown!  More dCS system tips can be found in my virtual system description
