AfterDark. take a further step to design the world's first audiophile network card which can accepting 10M Master Clock input for Audiophiles who would like to paid extraordinary attention to the master clock arragements (as well as providing developed clocksync and external reference clock options for EtherREGEN) to minimize timing error to unprecedented levels.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of the Network Card is crucial to deliver the optimal sounding for Music Server, which ensure the very first transfer via Network. The Constellation Giesemann is designed along with the mind that temperature perturbation, vibration shock, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) may cause some effect on high precision OCXO inside a Music Servers. The EMI niose is heavily polluted by CPU, RAM, SSD. So the ultimate solution is to separate the OCXO physically in a separate chassis if possible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/image.jpeg.120396b5ce7f483bf0dd363fc4797e64.jpeg\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"image.thumb.jpeg.3a5e60e88018d73dd3090a9704846911.jpeg\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" width=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/image.thumb.jpeg.3a5e60e88018d73dd3090a9704846911.jpeg\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motherboard arrangement is located and mounted on Carbon Fiber  audiophileMAT to maximise the performance for Giesemann Clock Module (GCM) for Constellation Giesemann Network Card. The grounding arrangement and 5V DC port slot is located on the bottom of the PCIe card to provide the best electronic contact for the clock module.  The Constellation Giesemann Network Card is balance in sounding, no excessive mid and bass. The mid-range is sweet and background is full of darkness with trace of micro details. Soundstage is deep and instrument opened up nicely on music, the bass is just right.
