MSB 飛秒銀河時鐘：Femtosecond Galaxy Clock

MSB這家非常先進不斷研發新技術與新點子的美國公司，又有新的創舉，這次推出了Femtosecond Galaxy Clock，飛秒銀河時鐘，飛秒有多快？有多精準，官網上寫著"It is one millionth of one billionth of a second."，若沒翻錯，就是一秒的十億分之一的百萬分之一？！一般Clock的時基誤差jitter都是以picosecond微微秒來衡量，one millionth of one millionth of a second，百萬分之一秒的百萬分之一，飛秒與微微秒單位上的基本上的差異就非常大了！

飛秒 Femtosecond = 10(-15次方) of a second, one millionth of one billionth of a second =

微微秒 picosecond = 10(-12次方) of a second, one millionth of one millionth of a second = 0.000 000 000 001 seconds

FemtoSecond Galaxy Clock 的測量

使用相位噪音(phase noise)來衡量，將時基誤差在頻率領域(frequency domain)上呈現。紅色的線顯示出1 kHz的噪音與時鐘頻率的差異，這與聲音的表現非常有關係。MSB Galaxy Clock 的表現非常的好，1 Hz時最差的表現仍非常精準，比97飛秒少(0.097微微秒)

Phase Noise at 1 Hz -85 db
Phase Noise at 10 Hz -110 db
Phase Noise at 1 kHz -120 db
Phase Noise at 10 kHz* -150 db
Guaranteed TIE (jitter down to 1 Hz) .097 psec.
* at CMOS output levels (For reference, at normal +13 dB levels the noise would be -170 dB).

9950USD喔~
好貴的鬧鐘~
(sweat)(sweat)(sweat)(sweat)(sweat)(sweat)

High End準比較重要~~~~~~

手錶沒那麼準都貴好幾倍啦~~~~

音響展有聽過MSB的聲音，對這家廠商的印象深刻，看來這鐘應該也會滿威的！！

謝謝!
飛秒銀河時鐘即將抵台.

這算是MSB訊源系統的昇級配件嗎?
還是算是獨立的CLOCK機器???

不能單獨使用.

謝謝!

閱 原本能拿到其他器材的話我就可能衝下去了，不過看來看去這種專屬規格只有原廠知道Know-how，可惜了可惜了。

請問裝了galaxy clock 最大的差別會在於音質, 還是音場的提升呢?
還是音樂感? ,, even more analog??

根據MSB總裁Larry的描述，只要你敢用，這個瘋狂想法設計出來的時鐘絕對會讓您驚豔，表現是全面大幅提升，音樂更真實了！

We have had an effort going since the DAC IV came out to do something pretty amazing with the DAC Clock. As we continued to improve our prototypes the results convinced us that an all out effort to make the best clock in the world would pay off.

Well, the FemtoSecond Galaxy Clock is here and ready to ship. We will be demonstrating it at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest later this week and I will be taking it to shows in Australia and China the week after. A Diamond DAC IV with the new clock is being sent to Stereophile for review this week.

The clock technology is crazy. To protect our discovery we are going to say very little about the details, but the performance speaks for itself. The clock is packaged in an actual space shuttle tile! We did not hold back at all with this clock. It is far better than any external clock, especially because it plugs in extremely close to the DAC modules themselves. Clock Jitter is 97 femtoseconds! That is 0.097 picoseconds. WOW!

The contribution of the clock to sound can best be described as bringing a realism to the sound I have never heard before. You can read more about this on the web site.

The clock can be plugged into all DAC IVs of any age or model (Platinum, Signature and Diamond) with no changes to firmware or hardware. Plug it in and add one screw.

The effect is most shocking in the Diamond, as you will hear things you have never heard before!

I am sorry for the high cost ($9950. retail) but making such a clock is very expensive. The upgrade may not make sense on a Platinum DAC, but I think it will be very viable in Signature and Diamond. It can of coarse be moved when the customer upgrades the DAC, just like the Powerbase. I am very confident about this upgrade. If you do not agree with me about the amazing sound of this clock, send it back without scratches and I will give you a full credit! This is an upgrade you must try!

We have clocks in stock.

MSB Technology, founded in 1986 and is now a leader in high-end audio digital components, has announced their FemtoSecond Galaxy Clock upgrade ($9950). Digital audio is all about timing and this new clock offers unprecedented accuracy with jitter under 97 femtoseconds (.097 psec). How long is a femtosecond you ask? It is one millionth of one billionth of a second. According to MSB Technology, there is no more accurate clock available for audio and this upgrade can easily be plugged into any DAC IV. This upgrade component starts with a crystalline material. Crystals were found to resonate at a precise frequency a hundred years ago. MSB Technology has pushed the understanding of crystal oscillation to an exact science. The FemtoSecond Galaxy Clock plugs into the clock upgrade header on any DAC IV with an immediate sonic benefit. According the MSB Technology, "An excellent DAC clock tends to reveal the true nature of the original music. The DAC IV with the FemtoSecond Galaxy Clock reveals fine, delicate, very dense harmonics that are accurately organized and therefore correctly reveal the true sound of the instruments and voices. The harmonic congestion that translates to harshness and the familiar digital 'annoyance factor' is just absent. The music and instruments sound like they are coming from live mic feeds on the best recordings."

昨天晚上,,, 終於裝上了Femotosecond Clock....... 真的是很猛.. ！

不比還好...拆下來後...整個音場.... 變平面的..(本來已經非常好了... 但是... 一比之下...真的差很多. )

但真的不便宜... 聖誕老公公..我今年真的很乖又努力.... hahhahaha,,,,

但是若有同好有機會可以試聽的話 , 千萬要拒絕因為..... there is no going back... PERIOD.

好的時鐘就是這樣，讚~~~~~~~~~~

沒有錯.... 掉下巴<- 沒有感受過的,, 就去聽聽MSB DIAMOND DAC + FEMTO CLOCK 保證... 讓你感受的到,,,

我在2012 T.H.E SHOW 還有遇見 Vince ,,,, 是位非常有知識而且熱心的業務經理! ,,,, 還沒有跟他買貨就已經教了我非常多的東西,,,
還發現原來網路上有篇有關拉專線的文章原來也是他老兄寫的,,,,,,
