ClockLink is a proprietary Wadiadesigned system that improves sonic performance by greatly
reducing clock jitter. In
1990,
Wadia became the first company to identify clock jitter as a
distortion in CD playback systems and we have been refining our jitter reduction technology
ever since. ClockLink is the most effective jitter reduction technology to date.
In most CD playback systems, the system master clock is located at the transport. As the clock
signal is transmitted to the digital-to-analog converter, it is contaminated with noise. This noise
results in uneven time intervals between output pulses from the DAC. This inconsistency causes
measurable and audible distortion.
With
ClockLink
the system master clock is located very close to the DAC chips in the
digital-
to-analog converter system. This simplifies the path through which the clock signal must travel,
minimizing the opportunity for jitter to contaminate the clock signal. This approach offers
lower jitter than ony previous jitter reduction method, and a
commensurate
improvement
in sonic performonce.
The Wadia 27i also uses improved clock circuitry for
non-ClockLink
sources. This circuitry results
in noticeable sonic improvements with
non-ClcokLink
digital sources.
If you are using a digital source equipped with Clocklink, such as a Wadia 270 in a Clocklink
mode, an ST-type glass fiber
cable
must be instolled between the Wadia 27i
ClockLink
Output
and your CD transport Clocklink Input.
This cable is installed as shown below.
