Did you ask MSB why there are two clocks in Sentinel? I can only guess one is used for DSD signals and the other for PCM....Take the clock. They had theories on how to drastically improve on the Femto 33...

Gotcha....As you know Esoteric use a 10MHz clock frequency I guess that must divide up nicely for 44.1 and 48. Or something else fundamentally different might be going on there. I tried an Esoteric clock with the Wadax but couldn't get them to sync.?? All MSB DAC’s have two clocks. One for 44.1 and all the multiples and one for 48 and all the multiples
Completely different approaches.Gotcha....As you know Esoteric use a 10MHz clock frequency I guess that must divide up nicely for 44.1 and 48. Or something else fundamentally different might be going on there. I tried an Esoteric clock with the Wadax but couldn't get them to sync.
I heard it. This week.I’m sure the Sentinel is a great DAC. At that price, and in that company, it has to be.
That said, my experience so far is simple. To my ears, and for me, no DAC I’ve heard (full Reference Atlantic stack inclouded) has truly surpassed the analogue experience. Not in 2023. Not in 2024, and not in 2025.
Maybe that moment will come.
I’ll believe it when I hear it.
