Cybershaft Platinum Review (External Clock & PS)

[Aperiodic]

Somebody got the Cybershaft on this one...

It’s your lucky day, the imaginary benefits translate to all DACs.

Actually you need a word clock input, only a few have that.

There’s no need to even connect it to obtain the benefits suggested so it’s hardly relevant.

What is the benefit suggested?

Apt name..

A pedantic cross examination in order to achieve a personal feeling of one-upmanship has been played out a thousand times on this forum, as well as most others. Boring.

Let’s get back on topic. This product seems to make things worse and costs a lot of money. Shameless.

What a useless clock. There's no display, so the user still doesn't know what time it is.

OK, having a bad day? if my goal is to achieve a "feeling of one-upmanship" (sure) may I know what's yours? I honestly don't get neither what it brings to the discussion answering to an honest real question by ridiculing it and answering something absurd only to express cynicism. We all know here that a device like that won't make anything sound better, the point is made and confirmed, the question was not about that.

 

[restorer-john]

The device is supposedly a precision clock.

But, there's nothing in this review about the accuracy of the absolute frequency, the inherent jitter in the clock itself (not a downstream connected D/A converter) or the short/long term drift. At least connect a frequency counter on the thing and confirm it's 10.000MHz.

Does that even matter? Making no difference in the DACs output is the best it can do - and it did just that.

 

[amirm]

Maybe it's time to stop testing wasting time on these things.

No, it isn't time for that. We can say something doesn't work but the message doesn't travel nearly as well as showing it with data.

I don't care about one random D/A converter's output. I want to know if the clock is accurate, stable and jitter free from a technical perspective.

 

[Madjalapeno]

No, it isn't time for that. We can say something doesn't work but the message doesn't travel nearly as well as showing it with data.

I would say it's worth it, and the message is working, one product at a time.

Not willing to minimise in no way the popularity of ASR, but you know that google knows your browsing habits right?

Not confirmed, but these are the specs for an Antelope Audio studio master clock.

I do, which is why I use duckduckgo.com as much as possible. Also use Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin and Facebook Container in FireFox.

ASR is pretty good (thanks @amirm)

It's about all I can do without a VPN.

You could also use Brave browser.

Rubidium clocks from old cell tower base stations used to be available very cheaply on the secondary market.

And if you're an athiest?

Why worry. If your an athiest your long term future is doomed in any case. LOL

Only ads are influenced by your browsing history. "Organic" search results are not. Those are ranked based on popularity of the general internet around those keywords. In other words, everyone would see the same ranking for those keywords.
