Will the W20 remain in the lineup or be replaced soon?

Esoteric seems to be the go to clock on this forum, but there are others such as cybershaft and dCs which are excellent as well.

Is there a preferred clock users are pleased with?

This question is for Mark (SCAudiophile). He has extensive knowledge about clocks and their capabilities. The G-01 is the only clock I have used and have no other reference to compare other than brief listening sessions of DCS and MSB. With MSB, the clock is internal, and it was by far the best sounding. Hard to determine if the benefits were coming from the dac or the clock inside but it was the best I've heard as it should be for 90K. I've read hi praise for CyberShaft at a much more reasonable price point. Having had the clock for a few years, I wouldn't want to be without it. Its difficult to articulate what it does, but I think the improved accuracy makes music a bit more effortless and timbre, to my ears, is much more believable while removing the digital edge I used to hear.

My dealer inform me that Aurender will launch a W30 soon.

Mutec have some nice clock options now also, Mutec 3+ and REF10

W20 Released 5 years ago, price increased.

Not new implementations forthcoming either.

I would guess they have too much stock on hand of the W20.

Thanks SuperDave,

Been looking at getting a W20. Also was considering G-01 for my K - 01xs, but wondering if overkill given the multiple clock outputs. Now I have justification to buy both

I wonder If I get a dCS Rossini DAC + dCS's External Clock,.... can I use the dCS's External clock to clock also the W20 ?

[meltemi]

You can either use a word clock signal from any DAC or Master Clock which has a word clock output,
or you can directly use a 10MHz reference clock like the Mutec Ref. 10.

The answer is yes if the DCS clock has an unused 75ohm clock output.
