TEAC Corporation just announced the CG-10M-X, a Reference Series Master Clock Generator that delivers an accurate clock signal to DACs, network audio players and CD players. The company says the crystal oscillator at the heart of the CG-10M-X is an OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator), which is equipped with a thermostatic chamber to ensure high oscillation stability. An analog oven status meter displays on the front panel allows the user to check the internal operating status of the OCXO from the outside at any time.

In the new “X” Edition, TEAC says the output buffer amplifier circuit, power supply circuit and other details have been refined to achieve even higher sound quality. The chassis construction has also been redesigned with a semi-floating top panel and “Stressless Foot” for a more open, natural and full sound.
