TEAC - CG-10M-X - Master Clock Generator
TEAC - CG-10M-X - Master Clock Generator
The TEAC CG-10M-X Master Clock Generator is a high-precision component designed for audiophiles who demand unwavering accuracy from their digital playback systems. Built to deliver a stable 10MHz clock signal, it enhances the performance of connected DACs, CD players, and network audio devices by dramatically reducing jitter and timing errors. Housed in a robust all-metal chassis with a semi-floating top panel, the CG-10M-X exudes the craftsmanship and build quality expected from TEAC’s Reference Series. An analog-style meter on the front panel tracks oven activity, offering real-time feedback on internal clock stability—a feature that underscores the unit's attention to both function and form.
At the heart of the CG-10M-X lies a TEAC-designed OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator), a temperature-regulated quartz oscillator engineered for superior frequency accuracy and thermal stability. This oscillator maintains a tightly controlled environment, minimizing drift due to external temperature fluctuations. The unit includes four gold-plated BNC outputs, enabling it to distribute its high-precision 10MHz signal to multiple devices simultaneously. Each output is powered by a dedicated buffer amp circuit to prevent signal degradation, while the internal power supply is isolated for maximum noise reduction. Vibration-damping Stressless Foot design and a dual-layer chassis contribute to sonic improvements by suppressing unwanted resonance and interference.
For listeners seeking to extract the highest fidelity from their digital audio sources, the TEAC CG-10M-X offers a refined and indispensable solution. Its combination of technical excellence, understated aesthetics, and robust construction reflects TEAC’s audiophile philosophy. Whether you're refining a high-end system or unlocking the true potential of a reference-grade DAC, this master clock generator provides a rock-solid foundation for transparent, jitter-free playback that brings your digital music closer to analog realism.
