I recall many customers who were dissatisfied with their "silver & blue boxes" picking up Big Ben's to try and help those insipid [yet owner of the "high end" converter market] boxes.




My RME's don't dry up from me crying over them every day ...

Won't somebody give me 10 000$ so I can GET A SOUND ?!?!


Decent clock though ...

At the same time, I recall many customers who were dissatisfied with their "silver & blue boxes" picking up Big Ben's to try and help those insipid [yet owner of the "high end" converter market] boxes.

That is understandable and it's a pretty big chunk of our market too.

As I'm sure you are well aware it ain't cheap to build a great sounding clock.

The clock circuit can be very cheap. What makes an outboard clock expensive is all the extra features. The oscillator itself hinges mostly on good circuit design, not expensive parts.
