What is a re-clocker?

In digital audio transmission, data is sent as a series of digital pulses (0s and 1s). However, these signals can suffer from jitter – small, unwanted variations in the timing of these digital pulses. Jitter can introduce noise and distortion, potentially degrading audio quality.

A reclocker works by:

  1. Receiving the incoming digital audio signal
  2. Regenerating a new, highly precise clock signal
  3. Retiming the digital data to match this new, ultra-stable clock

The benefits include:

  • Reduced jitter
  • Cleaner, more accurate digital signal transmission
  • Improved overall sound quality, especially noticeable in high-resolution audio systems
  • Better synchronization of digital audio data

Audiophiles and professional audio engineers use reclocking to minimize timing errors in digital audio signals, which can occur during transmission through various digital interfaces like USB, S/PDIF, or AES/EBU.
