LINA Clock

Our Grade 1 Master Clock uses dual crystal oscillators to deliver a precise and stable clocking reference. Used as part of a complete dCS Lina system, it enhances all aspects of sound for an even more immersive listening experience

• Allows the Lina Network DAC to be locked to a master reference signal for enhanced audio performance
• Minimises jitter and irregularities that can cause distortion

Features

• Dual, Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators: One for 44.1 kHz sample rates and one for 48 kHz, ensuring accurate clocking for all audio formats and frequencies.
• Standalone Design: Features a dedicated chassis and electronics to minimize clock signal interference.
• High Accuracy: Delivers a clock signal accurate to better than +/-1 ppm.
• Minimized Jitter: Reduces the risk of jitter, which can negatively impact audio playback.
• Enhanced Sound Quality: Improves sound quality when streaming or listening via USB, says dCS | Only The Music.
• Proprietary Clocking Technology: Utilizes dCS's refined clocking technology, developed over three decades.
• Word Clock Outputs: Provides two independently buffered word clock outputs on 75Ω BNC connectors.
• Power Link: Offers 2 x RJ45 Power Link ports for synchronizing on/off state with other dCS products.
• Clock Accuracy: Rated at better than +/-1 ppm when shipped over an ambient temperature range of +5°C to +45°C.
• Startup Time: Typically takes 10 minutes to reach rated accuracy.
