Precision
Time-Keeping, Without Complication
With MC10, Aurender is proud to
introduce a master clock solution
that retains the primary performance
benefit of MC20, and brings
exceptional value to the market. In
fact, MC10 delivers exactly the same
essential performance and benefits
as its predecessor but at a much
more accessible price point.
Aurender has achieved this by
removing the dual OCXO word clock
modules and associated interface
technology, which only work
effectively with an extremely
limited number of DACs (dCS). In
retaining the rubidium-module-based
10MHz master clock generator, power
supply structure, and vibration
mitigation, MC10 retains 100% of the
applicable performance benefits of
MC20 in the vast majority of
product-pairing scenarios.
MC10 features 4 x 10 MHz master
clock outputs, including 2 x 75Ω and
2 x 50Ω. This configuration of
outputs pairs well with select DACs,
word clocks, and Aurender models
with a clock input (N20, N30SA,
W20/SE, and AP20). Connecting a
clock signal output from MC10 to
your Aurender alone can
significantly improve the
performance of the already
ultra-low-jitter digital audio
output. Experience the soundstage
snap into focus, creating a clear
and distinct image of a piano-shaped
object, instead of hearing stray
notes leaping out from discrete
speaker drivers.
Elevate your digital audio
experience to the pinnacle of
performance by simultaneously
connecting one of MC10's outputs to
a compatible DAC (Esoteric, CH
Precision), or word clock (dCS
Vivaldi) that accepts 10MHz master
clock input.
Key Features
Rubidium 10 MHz Clock Module
The rubidium clock module employed
in the MC10 is an exceptionally
stable and accurate design that
establishes a new low level of phase
noise and jitter. Its flawless
performance delivers a new level of
vivid clarity with a
three-dimensional width, depth, and
height to the sound field it creates.
The reduction of jitter and phase
noise removes any trace of “digital
glare,” and instead provides an
analog-style warmth and naturalism
to any digital audio source.
Connectivity & Compatibility
MC10 is compatible with any Aurender
digital source component with a
CLOCK INPUT. This includes models
N20, W20, W20SE, N30SA, and AP20.
Connect MC10 to an Aurender source +
a DAC with 10MHz clock input for
maximum benefit. However, even if
your DAC does not have a clock
input, synchronizing your Aurender
transport with MC20 is still a
revelation in timbral and spatial
accuracy.
Connection Scenario 1
Connect MC10 to an Aurender N20 (or
another compatible Aurender model)
along with a DAC that lacks a clock
input. Given that most DACs do NOT
possess clock inputs, this
configuration is expected to be the
most commonly used setup:
Connection Scenario 2
Connect MC10 to an Aurender N20 (or
another compatible Aurender model)
along with a DAC that has a
compatible clock input.
Connection with Other
Equipment
If your source playback device (eg.
CD transport/server/player) has a
10MHz Master Clock input terminal
and a downstream device (eg. DAC)
can also receive a 10MHz Master
Clock input, it is recommended to
use the 10MHz Master Clock
connection on both devices.

Master Clock to the Source device
and DAC (This diagram depicts
devices with 75Ω connectors. Consult
your third-party device’s manual to
determine which impedance connectors
should be used with your device):
Interfacing with dCS Vivaldi
Clock
If you are using a Vivaldi Clock,
it is also recommend to connect
75Ω 10MHz Master Clock output to
Vivaldi Master Clock input:
