In particular since I’ve made some comparisons in systems of friends lately. I’m still tinkering with the thought of trying the Vivaldi clock to see if this will bring a similar improvement.īut I’m probably just too satisfied with the sound quality I already have with the Rossini on its own. It appears dark only because of the flash shadow. Esoterics X-05 looks and plays massive particularly in the soundstaging and bass disciplines. I have for the time being decided not to pursue this path. Word clock input is included for synchronization with the matching D-05, D/A audio converter or with any of Esoterics stand alone master clock generators. Very good condition (there's a small ding on the top cover see photo. You will never know the quality of your gear until you try it with a good clock. Pair this unit with any digital device that accepts a clock. Now, this was a bit of a disappointment… Yes, there was a similar improvement, but not as big as I remembered it with the Scarlatti clock. For all of you fortunate to have digital equipment with clock input, it will never be said enough how much difference a good clock makes, and how great an upgrade it is. Now in its second iteration, Esoterics top level word clock is the sensational Grandioso G1X. Figuring that not everyone would plunk down 57,000 all at once, I first reviewed the Grandioso K1 alone. So I sold the Scarlatti together with the Puccini and decided to try the Rossini clock. I received review samples of Esoteric’s Grandioso K1 SACD/CD player and DAC (31,000 USD) and G1 master clock generator (26,000) at the same time. So it would only make sense if I would either mannualy switch or accept that it is only going to improve one base rate (e.g. One problem: the Scarlatti clock doesn’t provide the two base rates at the same time and the Rossini has no means to direct the clock to switch between one of them. I have initially tested with and without masterclock using the Scarlatti and agree with the descriptions given by some other contributors here: it was a noticeable improvement, not shocking, but even more so when taken out of the equation again. When I bought my current Rossini player I still had my old setup, consisting of a Puccini player and a Scarlatti clock, available.
