If you want to replace the oscillator there are two products on the market.
Tentlabs www.tentlabs.com
and LCAudio

Which is the best? We have had and long long thread about this but we couldn't come to any conclusion. LCAudio's look coolest with 4-layer pcb and a blue LED!

Hi Hacknet,
Well there is also the Audiocom clock, the Trichord clock, the Netaudio clock, the clocks from www.audiotuning.de , the Gruensch clock www.gruensch.de , the French Maxi clock by Antileon http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/antileon_e.html , the G & D Transforms clock I never did get hold of, the K.K. Ho clock from Hong-Kong, Jocko's DIY clock as posted on this forum and the DIY KWAK-CLOCK. You can download the schematic here:

Drop in Replacement
Hi Hacknet,
I am sorry but I am afraid you confuse the crystal with the clock.
A clock is a crystal oscillator consisting of a crystal, a active circuit with a transistor or FET and very often a low noise power supply regulator.
I know of the AhTjoeb offering a low jitter crystal whatever that may be. As Jocko said low ppm does not say anything; low jitter, low frequency deviation......? In my experience the active circuit is much more important than the crystal. Also a SC-cut crystal that seems to be the best for low jitter is VERY expensive, something like US$ 120.
