Wadia 27ix Clock Synch w/ Transport-good thing?


I'm thinking I'd like a Wadia 270 Transport. I understand it can synch it's clock with the Wadia 27ix. Is the clock synch a big plus? It certainly limits the Transport/DAC pairings. Could it be that there's that much advantage to clock-synchronizations or can you run just about any DAC with the 270 Transport?

the clocklink is a significant improvement versus without clocklink the image just totally collapses without the clocklink. The review of the combination with clocklink is available on stereophile website archives section for more information check it out.
wm2001 "does the Riggle improve the sound a lot? 20%; 50%; 100%?" well let's see the 270 transport I previously had was sitting upon a bright star Air mass 2 Air suspension platform which sat directly upon a bright star sand box which sat upon the carpeted concrete floor. I know from previous experience with other transports the sand box alone was a bigger improvement than any various expensive cones I ever tried. The additional air mass was not as big of an improvement that the sand box was but a definite worthwhile improvement. The riggle was better by about the same margin as adding the air mass to the send box was. So a Riggle is better than the air mass/sand box combination. putting a percentage on it is difficult but I'm going to say it's a 30% performance improvement over no additional support devices just the stock equipment footers
