DAC build TDA1541A/SAA7220P/B *will take som time*

The 74HC4040 is a 12-stage binary ripple counter with a clock input (CP),
It has an overriding asynchronous master reset input (MR) and twelve parallel outputs.
Each counter stage is a static toggle flip-flop.

...and the answer to the question is ......yes 😀
 
I agree.

I'm sure we can tweak the hell out of this clock and as soon as I'm nearly ready to put it into the new machine I'll have a go at it.
Tants, bigger FC's and snubbers on the diodes for a start.
I have a small isolating / screening can with a lid which I'll be placing over the TCXO too once I swap it.
I may even give it more VA and run it at 8 volts instead of 12

We can more out of it.

I ment to put on the DAC pcb, wasn't sure you were talking about that or the Valab clock board?
 
I guess my mind wandered a bit.
I'm on your dac thread - not the CD one 🙄
Yes I meant the valab clock - it can be improved but this is not relevant here sorry !!!

No problems mate 🙂
I'll keep the above mentioned in mind for the valab clock, and I'll get the .5ppm TCXO for my Dac-build. Thinking of doing as you said, but maybe use copper to shield the TCXO.
