Description Original Description is in English, other language texts are translations and can contain errors. EnglishDeutschSpanishTurkish dCS Vivaldi Master Clock clock generator, perfect, one-owner, Italian import, original packaging and documentation.

The dCS Vivaldi Master Clock is the component that acts as the "orchestra conductor" for the entire Vivaldi system: it ensures that each component (Transport, DAC, and Upsampler) operates in perfect synchronization, virtually eliminating jitter (timing errors in the digital signal).

Classified as a Class 1 Master Clock, the Vivaldi Clock is not a simple pulse generator, but a jewel of micro-engineering:

Dual Crystal Oscillators: It uses two independent crystal oscillators, one for 44.1 kHz frequencies (CD, SACD) and one for 48 kHz (professional audio/video), ensuring maximum purity for every file type.

Temperature Correction: Unlike other oven-controlled clocks, dCS uses a sophisticated microcontroller system that corrects frequency variations based on ambient temperature in real time, ensuring superior stability and a longer lifespan.

Accuracy: Tolerance better than +/- 0.1 ppm (parts per million) once stabilized.

Features and Connections

The rear panel reflects its ability to handle complex systems:

Two Output Groups: It features eight Word Clock outputs on 75Ω BNC connectors, divided into two independent banks of four. This allows different frequencies (e.g., 44.1 and 96 kHz) to be sent to different components simultaneously.

Auto-Clocking: When connected to other Vivaldi components, the system can automatically select the correct frequency based on the track being played, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Chassis: Machined from solid aluminum with acoustically dampened internal panels.

Weight: 13.6 kg.

The other components of the dCS Vivaldi stack (Transport, DAC, and upsampler) are also available for a complete system.
