Jason.......You are correct, taking advantage of the superior OCXO clock in the Aurender N10 is exactly why I prefer the s/pdif connection between the N10 and the K-01X. That remarkable accuracy coupled with the Shunyata Sigma s/pdif digital coaxial cable delivers an incredibly satisfying listening experience.
