Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody?


Anybody actually own or has owned one of these units by Empirical Audio?
Sounds good and $699 not a huge outlay in today's world but would prefer some real world experience if anybody has tried it.
Thank you.

I owned the Offramp 3 for a few years ago, it very much improved the sound of my dac. But then my focus shifted, and I sold it; having fun now comparing  pre-amps. I'll probably circle back to Empirical next year to see what's new. Steve's website also contains good advice, he knows digital.

I have two.  One is installed via toslink in from a cable box to spdif out to a Bel Canto Dac 2.5 to Bel Canto M1000 AND a Bel Canto C5i.  This primarily drives indoor TV sound but also indoor/outdoor audio.  Initially I bought to drive two devices with the same signal, but really liked the improved sound.  I bought the power supply and it was a huge upgrade again.   I liked it so much, I installed another in a second system via toslink out from TV to a Creek 100A with Ruby DAC.  Nice improvement again compared to not using one at all.  I think many newer DACs perform better when receiving a 96k feed, and this does that really well.  I recommend getting the OTL option if your dac has a transformer on the input.  Also, highly recommend the Dynamo power supply if you are using this with a higher end system, although it does double the price.  Finally, his BNC cables are very good too.  
I have the Synchromesh with an outboard power supply feeding my Metrum Adagio via a Shunyata Sigma 75 ohm cable. It is stunning and transforms the Adagio from a superb dac and a mesmerising experience. Steve Nugent from Empirical is a gentleman and very knowledgable. 

100% endorsement for the Synchro. I chose the OTL option. Highly recommended for all rigs. I run Nagra and Tidal Audio and you can see how good the SM is.

I have a McIntosh C2500 preamp with a built in DAC. I’m unsure if it has a transformer on it’s input, do I want the OTL option?
