The Grade 1 Master Clock uses dual crystal oscillators to provide a precise and stable clocking reference. When integrated into a complete Lina system, it enhances all aspects of sound, resulting in an even more immersive listening experience. By locking the Lina Network DAC to a master reference signal, it significantly enhances audio performance, minimizing jitter and irregularities that can cause distortion. This ensures a cleaner, more accurate, and richer sound.

Product Details

Description

The Lina Master Clock is a product born from dCS's unwavering commitment to achieving the highest standards of sound reproduction. Drawing on over 30 years of experience in developing master clocks for both professional and home use, it benefits from the invaluable feedback of listeners and audio experts who have experienced significant sonic improvements after incorporating a dCS master clock into their systems.

Designed specifically for use with the Lina Network DAC, the clock employs two crystal oscillators to provide a precise and stable clocking reference for all audio formats and frequencies. When paired with the Lina DAC, it locks the DAC's internal clock system to a master reference signal, ensuring even greater precision and enhancing audio performance.

Its standalone design effectively protects sensitive clocking components from external interference. The crystal oscillators are oven-controlled, ensuring consistent performance regardless of environmental temperature fluctuations.

Built for maximum reliability and longevity, the Lina Master Clock is a silent but powerful component engineered to deliver absolute precision and consistency. When combined with the Lina Network DAC and Headphone Amplifier, it elevates your listening experience, ensuring that the audio you hear is as true to the original recording as possible, with improved depth and immersion.
