dCS Paganini Clock Plus

Up for sale is dCS Paganini Clock Plus (with USB input) recently taken in on trade. This item is being offered for sale with a 3 year warranty backed by dCS Americas
under their Certified Pre-Owned program.

The Paganini Clock Plus is a high-precision master clock combined with an asynchronous USB input for connection of a music server. As with the inputs on the Paganini DAC the USB interface on the clock can decode PCM up to 24/192 as well as DSD64 data. Data from the USB input is synched to the master clock and passed along to the DAC on a separate interface.

Original retail on the Paganini Clock Plus was $8,999

The dCS Paganini is one of the finest digital playback systems ever
created. While the Paganini has been discontinued it still possesses the
sonic qualities that made it a reference for many manufacturers and
reviewers alike.

The Paganini Clock Plus is an excellent sonic and functional upgrade for any dCS DAC or player (or any other DAC that supports a word clock input).

Please note that we are an authorized dCS dealer and this system was taken in on trade. As such we can offer it with a 3 year warranty provided by dCS Americas under their Certified Pre-Owned program. Unlike other dCS components on Audiogon with this one you can trust that you'll receive support and any future software updates without any hassle.

We have a matching Paganini DAC available as well. Please see our
other listings. If you are interested in both pieces please contact us
for a package price.

Condition

This unit is in excellent condition, but it is not flawless. There are NO marks that can be seen at a distance and it's incredibly difficult to get any of them to show in photos. The clock has a few pencil-tip sized marks on the faceplace (both the sloped surface and the face). Given the polished surface and clearcoat applied these types of marks are unavoidable. In reality these are not visible unless you are right on top of the pieces and looking very intently. The other chassis parts are in excellent condition with no visible marks.

The clock was upgraded to "Clock Plus" status recently (which adds the USB interface) and is now at the most recent hardware and software revision.

This unit will ship in its original box with all manuals and accessories.

TERMS

Our price is fair considering performance level, condition and warranty
status. You are, however, welcome to make offers. Please remember that
with the included warranty and peace of mind associated with a purchase
backed by dCS these are considerably more valuable than other pre-owned
dCS items which have no support or warranty.
