Audiocom Superclock 4

Hi Mark,

Glad it's going well. Thanks for the info - I wasn't sure which one it was I had. Is that your best clock mod then, or have you improved on it further?

I'm just interested in whether I have some 'tweakage' left in the DAS-R1, apart from the bullets and bybees you mentioned before

I still plan to come down with Ian sometime later in the year

Marco.

Thats a good lad takes yours out & give it me

Swapsy for the Ferrograph?

Blimey everyones after it

Hamish has as good as nabbed it, I believe

While Dave (DSJR) has gone for one of these instead:

Na i'm now keeping it, i posted on board earlier, i know i'll kick myself getting shut i did last time, i was maybe a bit hasty listing it before putting my brain in gear, was easy getting shut of the Jap vintage gear but not stuff like this. Anyway it's gonna get a total rebuild..A few areas of the circuit that need uprating a bit looking at the Schematic.

Nice one, dude - that's good news! I was shocked when I saw you selling it

Hi Marco

The Ultraclock mk2 is the best clock, combined with the matching Ultraclock power supply.

IMO, you would need to use the CDP-R1 with ‘Twin-Link’ to benefit from the Ultraclock system.

Aside from the Bybee, there are still room for improvements in the analogue stage, the LME49720HA for current-to-voltage conversion, AD825 for the analogue filter. This is the best combination I found for the DAS-R1 analogue stage.

I welcome your visit later in year

Best,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the delay in replying, but I got caught up with a few things.

I take your point about the Ultraclock mk2, combined with the matching Ultraclock power supply; however I may still take the plunge and see what happens

How much is that particular modification, and is there any other clock mod between it and the Superclock 4 I currently have in the DAS-R1?

Also, how much would it be to have the LME49720HA for current-to-voltage conversion and AD825 for the analogue filter mods fitted, and could this be carried out when Ian and I visit, presuming we arrived early enough and allowed you sufficient time to do the job?

Hi Marco

No problem.

The Ultraclock mk2 & Ultraclock PSU costs £910.63 including VAT, but excluding installation.

We have two clocks, the Superclock 4 or Ultraclock mk2, nothing in the middle.

The clock & PSU would require any overnight stay for surgery, maybe two.
I will send you an e-mail about pricing to you as a return customer, and Superclock 4 to trade-in.

When you visit I hope to be able to demonstrate more than one option, including Bybee products, and then we can go with your preferred choice.

The LME49720HA & AD825 parts are not expensive, approx. £30.00 inclusive. This modification may also require an overnight stay since the entire audio board has to be remove to install the parts.

BTW, I should have 2 new DAC’s for you to listen too when you visit; the Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 which uses the Sabre ES9018 32-Bit DAC. Also the Zodiac + DAC with its 64-bit algorithms and Oven Controlled Clock. I hope to report on the sound of both of these DAC’s soon in a separate thread.

Best,
Mark
