ClockLink is a proprietary Wadiadesigned system that improves sonic performance by greatly reducing clock jitter. In 1990, Wadia became the first company to identify clock jitter as a distortion in CD playback systems and we have been refining our jitter reduction technology ever since. ClockLink is the most effective jitter reduction technology to date.

In most CD playback systems, the system master clock is located at the transport. As the clock signal is transmitted to the digital-to-analog converter, it is contaminated with noise. This noise results in uneven time intervals between output pulses from the DAC. This inconsistency causes measurable and audible distortion.

With ClockLink the system master clock is located very close to the DAC chips in the digital- to-analog converter system. This simplifies the path through which the clock signal must travel, minimizing the opportunity for jitter to contaminate the clock signal. This approach offers lower jitter than ony previous jitter reduction method, and a commensurate improvement

in sonic performonce.

The Wadia 27i also uses improved clock circuitry for non-ClockLink sources. This circuitry results in noticeable sonic improvements with non-ClcokLink digital sources.

If you are using a digital source equipped with Clocklink, such as a Wadia 270 in a Clocklink mode, an ST-type glass fibercable must be instolled between the Wadia 27i ClockLink Output and your CD transport Clocklink Input.

This cable is installed as shown below.
