clocks....

I still haven't got around to putting the clock 2 I've got lying around into my CD53. It's a bit more involved than normal because the clock is the wrong frequency (deliberately...), but at some point I'll do it (once I get that project back on again... moving house and lack of a suitable power supply put it on hold). However, that project involves intercepting the I2S in the player and feeding into a PCM=>PWM amplifier, so differences to the output might be hard to quantify.

My comments regarding how worthwhile clocking the CD6000 would be stem from previous experience. I had a Rotel 991, which gained a fair bit when clocked and psued(despite being a pretty low jitter starting point), but then it was walked over as a transport into my superDAC by a stock marantz CD16. With a trichord DOB in the marantz, it's further ahead. So I think it's not worth spending £300 on a Clock 4 and NC psu to put into a sub £300 rrp player which has various other limitations on its performance, especially when considering that the CD16 only cost me £300.

 

In a way i agree with you isaac. My cd player is limited in the amount of worthwhile upgrade. Spending 150 on a clock4 175 on a psu plus having to buy the solder iron etc is a little excessive and wouldnt be cost effective IMHO.

I would rather get a decent improvement on a smaller budget...more bang for your buck kinda thing.

In which case look at the clock 2 or a DAC (or both... simple DACs such as the superDAC and nosDAC will benefit from clocking the CD player). But there is no point getting carried away.

 

just not sure where it is? there is no silver canistered block which i expected

Can't tell from those pics. If you bring it tonight I'll have a look.

 

My suspision is the black box on here? this is the dac section.

That's a relay.

 

Found it

 

that be there a clock (Crystal Oscillator ) Richard yes

 

Interesting to note that the clamp is a similar green to the SID disks and fabled pen. And on your Wadia by the looks of it.

 

All VRDS mechs have a green platter Sir. Even the new all Metal ones
