Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker


Has anyone used a reclocker with a Project CD Box RS2T transport?  What hardware?  Results?

Waste of money! Present day DAC’s have asynchronous input receivers that handle the timing of incoming data. You’d have to go way back to find a DAC that needed a reclocker!

Including the CD transports? In other words, are you saying a connect a CD transport to my DAC, via S/PDIF, will the clocks in my CD transport and DAC be synced?

 

Do you own a DAC?

 

@thyname : If I remember correctly Gordon Rankin of Wavelength built the first asynchronous DAC back around 1992-93. No need then to sync the transport and DAC to reduce/eliminate jitter (uncertainty in timing). The input receiver of that DAC and all present day DAC's re-clocks the incoming data. So no need for a clock between the transport and DAC. Jitter from the transport is a non-existent problem solved decades ago!

Are you sure about this? On reclocking. USB yes, things like S/PDIF or Toslink, certainly not. Which is what you use with your $16 eBay “transport”

And yes, I do use a DAC and transport connected by a coax RCA cable.
