A friend of mine have Esoteric G-OS Rubidium master clock. Since this clock has spec of 0.01ppm, he wanted to use this clock for other devices in his audio chain.
The devices are :
-Marantz CDR510
-XTA 428
-Nakamichi 1000P
-Accuphase AG28.
He asked me how to do, and I don't know how, I don't even know if it is possible.
Is it possible to use the G-OS clock to clock these 4 other devices? If it is possible, how to do it?

Hi
Absolute accuray is a non issue for accurate audio playback, see

It is very likely that the jiter of such Rubidium clock is even is worse than that of those clocks optimised for audio.

Do you know if all of the devices listed come equipped with a wordclock input ? If not, things will get a lot harder.
Hi, Guido,
Thanks for the info. I know nothing about digital.
Hi, rfbrw,
No, all of these don't have wordclock input.
This is confusing to me. The G-OS has writings "clock in 10mhz" and 4 word clock out terminal.
I opened 1 unit, the XTA428. It has 3 oscilator crystals, 24.576mhz, 25.000mhz, and 18.432mhz.
After knowing that even 1 unit have 3 crystals, I don't know what to do with my friend's willing.
His idea is to use the G-OS clock for clocking all his 4 devices. Is it possible to do it?

Without a wordclock input I woudn't bother unless you know your way around PLL's and VCXO's.

Hi
The wordclock distribution is something required in studio's. If possible, I'd avoid them in your home as rfbrw points out correctly: Stay away from PLL's.
My CDplayer by the way will get a wordclock input (optional)
cheers
Guido
