- This was a part of the journey to answer Gustard R26 best SQ input question, and I've learned something along the way. Gustard goes, OCXO stays.
Buy them while they are cheap and available - the price will probably go up.
Its a good alternative to LHY, Gustard C16 and other expensive 10MHz clocks.
If its good for radio and astronomy and uses GPS for clock correction, its good enough for me and my ears. - Наука та технологія
Great video. Nice tips.
Thanks!
A must for any Gustard R26 DAC. Highs become more defined and more air in between the notes. All other frequencies are all more precise and musical at the same time. Non stop Goosebumps! Thank you @HiFI Zone🙏
Exactly! Single biggest upgrade for R26!
I'm glad you enjoy it!
What would it do for the A26?
Is the clock connected with the one cable you showed to the DAC?
@@janwillemkuilenburg7561 A good question. Should do the same as for R26, but the effect may be less staggering (as A26 should be superior to R26 in airiness and detail areas).
I recently got my hands on X26 Pro, I will try to check that next weekend as will be on business trip this week.
@@janwillemkuilenburg7561 Yes, just this one cable to ext 10mhz clock input on the back
My streamer has 2 clock inputs one for 75 ohm and one for 50 ohm, not sure which one would I be using for this clock. Thanks
50 ohm is standard for the most clock cables, you'll be fine with it. 75Ohm cables are thicker and they have 75Ohm printed on the side.
There are several versions: GPS, Galileo, Glonas, BDS, ecc. Which one is the right one for the R26? Thanks!!
That's for GPS clock correction, so just choose the ones you trust to stay stable. I went for Galileo and GPS. This is just a small detail as for audio purposes we don't need date/clock sync with satellites, just the precise 10MHz will do
@@k4syx thanks 🙌
Link to the OCXO $60 please?

Hi, and a link for the cable? Thanks
@@dirkrs a.aliexpress.com/_EyEotMZ be sure to choose type 4 for the right bnc connectors
Hi, forgive my dumb question here! But I’m trying to understand how I/O is configured in cabling exactly? Assuming it’s in the middle, how would you implement this from your streamer to your Gustard? Thanks 🙏🏼
