Aurender MC10 Master Clock

By removing the dual OCXO word clock modules that are mainly for dCS DACs, Aurender has created a more affordable version of the MC20 clock with the same performance benefits. 

The Aurender MC10 has four 10 MHz master clock outputs, including two 75 Ω and two 50 Ω. This allows it to pair with a range of DACs, word clocks, switches, and Aurender models with a clock input. These include the N20, N30SA, W20/SE, and AP20.

Connecting a clock signal output from MC10 to your Aurender significantly improves the performance of the already ultra-low-jitter digital audio output. Experience the soundstage snap into focus, creating a clear and distinct image of a piano-shaped object, instead of hearing stray notes leaping out from discrete speaker drivers.

Elevate your digital audio experience to the pinnacle of performance by simultaneously connecting one of MC10’s outputs to a compatible DAC (Esoteric, CH Precision), or word clock (dCS Vivaldi) that accepts 10MHz master clock input.

Rubidium 10 MHz Clock Module

The rubidium clock module in the MC10 is an exceptionally stable and accurate design that establishes a new low level of phase noise and jitter. Its flawless performance delivers a new level of vivid clarity with a three-dimensional width, depth, and height to the sound field it creates. The reduction of jitter and phase noise removes any trace of “digital glare,” and instead provides an analog-style warmth and naturalism to any digital audio source.
