We listen through his music library for a while. For Oliver Göbel, the improved tonality and fine dynamics, such as the keystroke on a piano, are the salient features, Dirk Sommer concentrates on the improvements in spatial imaging, and I focus on whether the differences between the two clocks are tonally in the same direction as in my own system. Interestingly, all three of us hear clear improvements, but focus on different sub-areas. There is not the slightest doubt about the exceptionally convincing performance of the REF10 SE120.
The REF10 SE120 impressively demonstrated to me how sensitive the human ear is to the tiniest errors in timing (jitter). If I had one wish, it would be to have a digital signal chain in which all components take their clock from the REF10 SE120!
