I have the externally clocked (CM4-hased) ustars C19 streamer. It plays like it is worth 2k. What could help most in my setup is likely an even cleaner network connection. IMO, it is all about noise. I have a tweaked switch fed with a lps between the sw8 and router. Nothing dirty is connected...

There is this esoteric wannabe on ali. Not enough info on it. https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005142141260.html In this game, finding where the bottleneck becomes harder. The Eva will give you 4 fewer dBs at 1hz. Should be very audible. Looking forward to you comments. You'll likely need a...

You know, all these upgrades, one after the other, are addictive. I wonder what i would get using an esoteric clock or a top Cybershaft. My setup is now very subtle. It can delineate instruments like never before and has a lot of staging depth. But I know there is always better. :)

I tried the Eva through the di24he. I prefer straight to all gears: dac, di24he and streamer. One of the di24he clock out will eventually be used on an sw-6, if i decide to get one. I am out of shelf space. I would need a 2m clock cable with my current setup if the switch is to remain where it...

No problem.

Very different layout, more optimized. The master-19 and master-9.mkiii are very similar. I would go LE. I have the HE9 Mkii. It is real high-end. Does everything very well.

1 weeks is probably not enough. Also, quality will vary from one seller to another. The Xangsane pure silver is about the same price and a better buy but maybe not for a power amp. The batteries come with the cable normally. And the button on the compartment is just to test that the battery is...

Did you burn it for at least 1-2 weeks? It is, as far as what I get from a specific seller, an excellent cable IMO. Xangsane makes an awesome pure silver cable. ATAudio is another very good company.

The di24he has both a 75 and 50 output. Still, the 50ohm was modded to 75? An impedance mismatch can cause issues.. Make sure the impedance is indeed what you think it is. @sajunky I am not the one who stated things were better with only the di20he fed with an external clock. On the contrary...

Well the clone is silver-palted. For instance, this. You can likely find it for less money. https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002651056004.html

Looks like an Audioquest Dragon clone but not identified as such. Get the real clone instead, it's safer. :) . It's an excellent cord. But very stiff. Perfect for a power amp in high-current version. And for a pre. Will work well on pretty much anything.

Looking forward to your feedback. I have one of @Crypt Keeper 's recommendation but not his top one, cause they are too tall (my clock cable will become too short...).

Some fuzziness is added. A friend of mine I sold a set of Xangsane ribbon speaker cables to just realized some cables are just better than others, and not in a subtle way. Cable design has taken a major leap during the last 2 decades.

The whole setup comes into play. All cables and ac component, including fuses matter passed a certain point. Even the microsd card used in some small streamer will sound differently. It is mostly about noise and its effect on jitter. Digital setup are hard to optimize.

Any suggestion for a not too tall set of feet that really do wonders on master clocks? I can't afford to upgrade to a better clock. :)
