Ivan.......Yes, the Esoteric outboard clocks are astonishing with exceptional accuracy. Every post I have read where Esoteric DAC owners are using external Esoteric clocks, the comments all support substantial sonic improvements with the clock running the show. From the K-03 all the way up through the newest models that include the K-01X and the K1, Esoteric states that the clock accuracy is 0.5 ppm. Obviously that level of accuracy shines with all of those player/DAC's, but as you have revealed from your own personal experiences adding an external clock substantially raised the performance bar. Clock accuracy in the digital domain matters. The differences are audible.
The OCXO clock in the Aurender N10 is just one of many reasons it is an exceptional performer and a good value when all things are considered.
