DENAFRIPS AETHER Master Clock 
 
The Aether MCLK is DENAFRIPS’ flagship Master Clock Generator, meticulously engineered for high-end audio applications. Its purpose is simple yet ambitious — to push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital audio performance.
 
At the heart of exceptional sonic performance lies the quality of the clock. The lower the jitter, phase noise, and frequency drift, the greater the clarity, precision, and musical realism of your digital system. The Aether MCLK embodies this principle, serving as the ultimate foundation for superior digital playback.
 
 
High-Precision OCXO Technology
 
Aether is equipped with ultra-precise Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXO) operating at 45.1548 MHz and 49.152 MHz — an advancement beyond the Terra MCLK.
These OCXOs are powered by a high-current, multi-stage linear power supply driven by an oversized O-Core transformer.
 
Particular care has been taken to refine every element of the power supply — reducing noise, increasing slew rate, and ensuring high current delivery. This design provides the OCXO with an exceptionally stable DC supply, resulting in superior thermal stability, minimal crosstalk, and outstanding timing precision.
 
 
Designed for High-End Audio Systems
 
The Aether offers four independent clock outputs (MCLK1–4), each manually configurable via the intuitive front panel interface. This flexibility allows seamless integration with a wide range of DACs, DDCs, and digital playback systems.
