DAC upgrade with the newly developed Stratum II OCXO
Small enough to be mounted directly on board with short traces to DAC/DSP - all soldered down, no cables or connectors.
On-board conversion of oscillator sine output to logic level MCLK for DAC with minimal effects on the phase noise from close-in to floor - best in class performance!
Main inputs are re-timed directly to this reference clock for jitter elimination before going into the DAC chip. No external clocks or processing units required.

Hey Acko...congratulations! This looks to better than the Pulsar clock and be on par with the well tempered clock with a much smaller form factor.

Ultimately, it is the System that matters and everything on board tuned to match for best performance…
Inputs (stereo):
USB - PCM44.1k to 384k. DSD(native) 64fs to 512fs
Spdif: 44.1k to 192k fs
Network streaming: PCM44.1k to 384k. DSD(native) 64fs to 512fs

Wow that’s a pretty big deal. How come you don’t mention it on your website? And you should add your DAC as a Ravenna device on the Ravenna website. Especially since you made the only DSD 512 compatible Ravenna interface in the world.

You should be able to retire just selling the interface boards on their own.

Yes, all within limits of pretty tight specs, cherry-picked, individual test cert supplied. Anything out is rejected! For last batch of clocks, nearly half got knocked out …
What I mean is the clock sync between DAC to DAC. For active speaker use, and 1x 4 channel DAC per speaker, the skew between the grand master and the slaves is very important.
