Opinions... where is the specification

Unless you know and have means to measure what you are doing I suspect that the very act of adding and "piggybacking" clocks like this can actually be a retrograde step... it's so easy to make things worse. Carrying a clock signal at a few tens of meg is problematic... wires are no good as you can end up with a severely distorted signal due to mismatches etc.
Just my opinion for what it's worth

Specs... There aren't any as yet apart from it's a 5v TCXO with 2.5v out and 2 x 317's.

Are you not a fan of piggyback 'clocks'? I thought they were the most effective mod for a cdp, there's loads of clocks out there with praises such as Tentlabs, Trichord, Audioupgrades, Audiocon etc etc.

Would you rather clean up the existing clock supply and leave the XO alone?

Thanks.

A quick search would reveal that this oscillator is discussed in another thread.

You asked for opinions so I gave you mine

True, but a quick look at the thread would reveal I started it so it's not really much use regarding other folks opinions, as there aren't any there either.

Hang on, I have an idea........ maybe if I started a thread on homebrew cabinets or possibly another opamp or CD63 thread and hid the 'cheap clock opinions' somewhere within, I may just then get some answers, or on the other hand, maybe not.
