For Sale: A Bespoke Master word clock generator and dedicated power supply based on the Drawmer studio clock created by Coherent systems
• A Coherent Systems modified Drawmer Studio Clock.
• A Coherent Systems specially built power supply with 2 Coherent Systems leads from the power supply to the Clock.

It does do what Tony has hinted at below.

I paid £1,600 in February 2009, and am now looking for £1,050 ovno which includes UK postage

Alternatively an extract from the thread:
This week I finally got around to playing with the word clock on the X-01.
Have been aware of the benefits of jitter reduction in studio's by linking all the digital equipment together by means of a 'Master Clock' so all the units have one common timing reference.
The Esoteric X-01 & X-03/D70/P03/D03/D01/P01 etc all have a word clock input (as does the Dcs stack) which enables the owner to improve the performance of the player/DAC by feeding the digital output into a master clock and have it extract the word bit sync signal, re clock it (+/-1ppm to +/-0.05ppB (yes billion) depending on which clock you choose) and sent it back to the player/transport to control its clock via the master clock simple really !!!
Also the master clock can output various different sample rates; the Esoteric only accepts direct multiples of the red book frequency IE 44.1khz/88.2khz/176.4khz.
They are few up sampler systems that use this method of sample rate conversion but not as a genuine word clock output.
So after making some genuine 75ohm Bnc cables (word clock input side)
I hooked up the Master Word clock unit, engaged the sync lock button, waited for the hyper warp drive to engage & held on tight.

So you think the X-01 a good player eh???????

You haven't heard nothing yet to you hook up the Word clock

If you had heard the player stand alone you word be pretty shocked, but with the word clock in circuit it makes the player without the clock sound broken!!!.

The sound just becomes REAL simple as that, the solidity of the sound is just
The genuine realism is just :shock:
Played about with sample rates, the depth/image spacing/bass solidity just slot into place as 'it was meant to be'
Cd's now take on true dimensionality and realism that's just
Sorry for using the :shock:a lot but its warranted.
This isn't a case of night and day; it's a case of realism is very good.

I've been playing around with the Word clock all weekend, just listening to music, more music and yet more music.

I'm still shocked at the difference it makes; after all I've owned/tried/used up samplers /re clockers before none have had this depth of effect on the sound.
I purchased a studio master clock (not a big Ben either) for this experiment
some of the best money I've ever spent on audio.

If you ever get a chance to hear an Esoteric with a word clock in/out then do so, it really will change your ideas on digital. Wm
