Esoteric G-03X Master Clock Generator

Stereo Sound “2011-2012 Best Value Component”

Ultimate precision master clock generator vividly opens the "gray area" of soundstage, revealing the hidden passion of musical performance. The integration of 20 years of clock technology development, sound engineering and highly rigid chassis construction

The G-03X is a younger sibling of the flagship G-0Rb and is an evolutionary successor to the crystal clock generator model G-0. The G-03X has an OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) circuit on board. The OCXO is a small thermostatic chamber used to heat the combination oscillator core and control circuits at a fixed, high-thermal level. This provides stability to the crystal clock, being free from unwanted characteristic variations. As a result, the G-03X is exceptionally stable at +/- 0.1 ppm clock stability, even within severe thermal environments ranging from -20C to 70C!

The crystal master clock generator G-03X can be used with a wide range of digital source components with the same established product quality level achieved by the G-Ru.
