Any other thoughts?
Roc, I know you've had both in studio, if you're still reading this any comment would be appreciated. |
Your right! This other post discouraging the use of the Lucid as the master does not hold water in my experience. He did not even list the converters he used to test, which I need to validate what happened. Perhaps he liked what you've disliked from the BB. I hear a "change" with the Ben, where I don't with the Lucid. I have a GENX192 clocking our entire Digital Rig Right now. It consists of many AD/DA16x's and other devices. We are of course in control of which device can be the master at any given time. We use the X192 to distribute RADAR V clock to our devices. Though on internal, NOT ONE PERSON has SAID ANYTHING about the sound of these converters "changing" because this clock does not change the response of the converters at all. To my ear anyway. Its a well designed, affordable clock source. The Antelope with 10M just injects all kinds of awesome harmonic distortion. It has this hard to describe performance, but the effect is kind of like listening to awesomely designed tube mono blocks with more headroom and bandwidth that has "more room to play" than you'll ever need. It made RADAR V sound more forward, bigger, etc.....
I would buy a Horch RM2J instead.
