Santa brought a few goodies for me.
Shunyata Omega 75 Clock Cable - for Aurender W20SE to clock off the Cybershaft OP21A
Shunyata Omega 50 Clock Cable - for the Esoteric Grandioso K1X to clock off the Cybershaft OP21A
Shunyata Omega Ethernet Cable (long run) - from switch to ACS10
Shunyata Omega Ethernet Cable (short run) - from ACS10 to W20SE. I already had a Shunyata Omega USB cable which runs from the W20SE to the Esoteric Grandioso K1X.
When I first connected the W20SE to the clock, I went into Advanced Settings2 and enabled to WORD clock. I sat back and listened. It sounded like crap. Compressed soundstage, veiled, etc. Then I remembered the upsampling rates of the DAC, in this case, my Esoteric Grandioso K1X must match the W20SE and visa versa. I have always liked 4fs on the K1X which is upsampling everything to 176.4, so I set the up sample rate under the WORD Clock Setting on Aurender Settings2 to 176.4 and VOILA! Magic! PURE magic!
I’ll let these new cables burn in before further evaluating things.

Nice Mike! Also gulp. That is $12k of clock cables in my set-up!!
Can’t imagine the improvement you must get with the Omega Ethernet
