CH Precision T10 Clock Generator
10MHz Time Reference
In digital audio, precision in the time domain is not simply desirable but essential. Every sample, each microscopic data point, must arrive in perfect sequence and at precisely the correct interval. The C10 Master DAC already incorporates state-of-the-art clocking, improving further when paired with the C10 Conductor. Adding the T10 Master Clock elevates timing accuracy to an even higher standard, unlocking greater clarity, coherence, and musical expression. The T10 produces a hyper-accurate, low-jitter clocking signal with vanishingly low phase noise, ensuring digital data is transferred and converted with unwavering stability.
Pairing a transport with a separate DAC can introduce timing errors caused by independent clock domains. Even slight discrepancies can result in jitter, diminishing resolution, and musical coherence. The T10 Time Reference Clock addresses this by providing an ultra-stable timing source for the entire system. Its 10MHz oven-controlled oscillator (OCXO) is renowned for low phase noise and is thermally stabilized within a solid billet aluminum block to ensure consistent performance. Referencing all digital components to the T10 reduces timing errors, unlocking deeper resolution, spatial precision, and musical flow.
Unlike other CH Precision units, the T10 offers only one option – its unique GPS input. Instead, the T10 is itself the option, offering improved performance with all CH Precision digital components (the D10 and C10) a vital part of their scalable, upgradable topology.
