I have owned a Vivaldi Clock and Cybershaft Op-20 for sometime.
With Vivaldi Clock alone, Grimm wins in my system. With Grimm and good clock cables, the sound is very detailed yet natural. The improvement brought about by Vivaldi Clock alone is more subtle.
With Vivaldi + OP-20, the improvement is much more noticeable. Compared to Grimm, the Combo gives even more details. The sound is so detailed, and I preferred to turn on the dither mode in the Vivaldi Clock to make the sound less imposing. Yet, Grimm still has its glamour that it gives (to me at least) more natural and, perhaps euphonic sound. Price wise, Grimm is a real bargain. It also saves space (my cabinet is full, and can house either one clock n UPS, or the two-clock combo). In the end, Grimm remained in my system. It was a tough decision though.
The drawback of Grimm is that it can only output 44.1 or 48 at one time, not in parallel like Vivaldi Clock. So I have to switch Grimm manually for tracks with different frequency bases (though most tracks are 44.1, and DSD is 44.1 based too). In future, if I ever switch to NAS, I will add a second clock (such as Grimm CC2). That gives two truly independent clocks for the dCS system and will remove the switching hassle. |
