The Lina Master Clock is a product inspired by our absolute dedication to achieving the highest possible standards of sound reproduction.
It is informed by our experience developing master clocks for professional and home use – something we’ve been doing for over 30 years – and the feedback we’ve received from listeners and audio experts who’ve experienced significant sonic benefits after adding a dCS master clock to their system.
Designed for use with the Lina Network DAC, it uses two crystal oscillators to deliver a precise and stable clocking reference for all audio formats and frequencies. When paired with the Lina DAC, it allows the DAC’s internal clock system to be locked to a master signal for even greater precision and enhanced audio performance.
Its standalone design ensures sensitive clocking components are protected from factors that can cause interference. Each crystal oscillator is also oven-controlled to ensure its performance remains consistent, even under changing conditions and temperatures.
Designed for maximum reliability and longevity, it is a silent but powerful component engineered to operate with absolute precision and consistency, so you can experience the best possible performance from your system. Combined with the Lina Network DAC and Headphone Amplifier, it delivers an even more profound and immersive listening experience and helps ensure the audio you hear sounds exactly as it should.
Elegant and minimal in its appearance, the Lina Master Clock is a component designed to enhance your listening experience, without ever demanding your time or attention. Simply switch it on, sit back, and enjoy an even deeper connection with your music.
With its own dedicated chassis and power supplies, the Lina Master Clock provides the perfect environment for sensitive clocking circuitry. Its design ensures clock signals are protected from power interference, crosstalk and other factors that can affect signal integrity (and in turn, audio quality), for a consistent performance day after day, year after year.
As with all dCS products, the Lina Clock is hand-assembled in Cambridgeshire, England, by our talented technicians – a highly skilled team of experts who make sure each product that leaves our factory is built to the highest possible standards. Each clock is subject to exhaustive performance tests and rigorous inspections before shipping, so you can be confident it provides the highest levels of performance and reliability.
dCS pioneered the use of external master clocks in the 1980s, and we’ve been honing and refining our approach ever since. The Lina Master Clock brings together all that we’ve learned from our extensive experience developing clocks for professional and home use and our numerous innovations in the field.
Our research has shown that adding a master clock to a digital audio system can have a dramatic impact on sound. Subjective listening tests have revealed improved imaging, resolution, dynamic expression and localisation, plus a greater sense of rhythmic movement and flow. It’s for this reason that we’ve continued to advance the standard of clocking and develop dedicated master clocks for all multi-component dCS systems.
