What a waste using these clocks on consumer grade products. JPL/NASA/MIL would certainly be interested (and no, I am not jesting, they really are), in ultra low phase noise clocks, the best of the best, to improve the GPS constellation, deep space telemetry, and missiles precision. They would pay obscene amounts for such "best on the planet" clocks. Even Stratum 1 providers may be interested, although the MTI-270 in special space grade version is currently marginally good enough.
that's another subject.
i would like to get the answer from our robocop himself, if i may.
I didn't think obsession could go this far.
I don't know how many times you wrote the same sentence on several threads, I couldn't count them
"Every level matched double blind listening test I've read about show no audible difference between expensive and cheap contemporary DACs."
But then I read this and understood everything:

Your reply:
"In your own view, perhaps."
The measurement obsession has made you lose sight of the goal of audio: listening to music.
A little musical education would be necessary.
Is there also a self fulfilling prophecy going on in objective minds, one that backfires so to speak?
I mean, when one believes that you can't hear things, is the mind so preoccupied while listening for changes that one actually can't hear things that one without that conviction should be able to?
Really.

Really.
Maybe you don't understand how much I care if you are an opponent or not.
But that's okay.
Go ahead with your obsession with measurements while I keep with my obsession with listening to music at its best.
Tha's the only goal for me.
Perception is fragile, that's why there are proper ways to tell if something exists or not. We generally all have similar shortcomings.
Listening to music vs listening to reproduced music aren't same thing. Perhaps a little education on reproduction would be beneficial to you.
Fortunately HAL9000 was shut down.
And moreover Kubrick was art (like music), have you measured the THD of his steadycam to confirm he was a good director?
Like i said in another thread, most manufacturers listen to their stuff before production.
Like TV manufacturers watch TV content,etc
Car manufacturers even ride their cars before production, can you believe that?
Nobody here is saying measurements are complementary only.

I was very impressed how SY used to pay local musicians he liked to come and perform in his house. It was an advantage that his preferred music could be performed by a cast of under 3 😀
You are wrong.
JPL / NASA / MIL would not be interested in these oscillators at all.
They look for long term stability while I have not implemented an oven so my oscillators has poor long term stability.
That does not matter in audio.
