> ESOTERIC - G-0Rb MASTER CLOCK GENERATOR (RUBIDIUM) …“esoteric”…
While I realize the absurdity of hooking up such a thing to your CD player at home, there can be merits of having a centrally generated and extremely accurate clock in a professional audio/video production facility. When you are passing around digital audio and video signals between production desks in different rooms or even countries, missing drift can eliminate the need for special resampling equipment (frame stores for video). > which oddly, is actually made by a division of Teac > http://www.teac.com/esoteric/ > http://www.teac.com/esoteric/Master-Clock_Up-Converter.html > There's also this: > http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=1304280 …that's proably also where it originates at TEAC, my guess is that they modified a professional device to fit into the audiophile market. > Fascinating, too, that they don't actually have any real data on the > jitter performance of their box on the spec sheet.. even though that's > what they're selling.. they just quote the absolute frequency accuracy. I'd say you don't get the concept of “Audiophile Equipment” here! :-) It doesn't matter what the measurement says as long as you can hear it, the sound is more vivid and… you get the idea.
