The AfterDark 10MHz OCXO Queen Master Clock

---

Today’s available digital converters, clocks, and audio re-clockers perform acceptably well reproducing or processing digital audio. Even so, we at AfterDark along with our North American partners on the Charles River, Ctronic Music Boston felt the existing products that enhance digital playback, OCXO clocks and linear power supply solutions are way overpriced. We knew we could bring a line of products to market at a much lower price while substantially increasing digital playback performance. Just look at how exceptionally well our products measure and the subjective consumer and reviewer response has been nothing short of astounding.

We are proud to offer this high fidelity, precision audio device at an unrivaled price. The performance per dollar cannot be matched. It has made traditional audio upgrades obsolete. You do not want to spend money on any traditional upgrade before you add an Uptone Audio EtherRegen and the Queen Master. If needed the Queen Masters side kick the LPS x 2 if you do not already own an LPS. They make humble audio systems dramatically better, and they make ambitious system improve a great deal as well. It is a very satisfying product offering.    

In our commitment to advancing the state of the art and science we set out to investigate the possibilities to further enhance the performance of digital audio systems. To do so, our R&D team set out to build the very best clock we could. That ended up being the Emperor Giesemann EVA clock. This clock measures Phase Noise@ 10Hz -145 and Phase Noise@ 1 -121. The Emperor Giesemann EVA is the clock we worked from to develop the Queen Master. The Queen Master reflects many of the lessons learned and employs much of the same technology as The Emperor Giesemann EVA.

The AfterDark R&D team developed a master clock generator with a technical performance beyond what we thought was possible for the price. The result of the Queen Masters performance was then verified by a group of experienced audiophile beta testers to ensure the hard work translated into best-in-class sound.

The end result of our extensive efforts is the Queen Master: a superior 10 MHz reference master clock with a price to performance ratio unrivaled anywhere combining uncompromising engineering with the beauty
