SOtM sMS-1000SQ Crux

The sCLK-EX clock is designed to significantly reduce jitter and phase noise. By providing a more precise timing reference, it allows the system to deliver greater sonic clarity, improved soundstage depth, and a more natural presentation of high-resolution audio files.

Yes, the sMS-1000SQ Crux is fully compatible with Roon and can function as a Roon Core. This allows you to manage your local library and stream high-resolution audio directly through your existing Roon-ready setup.

Yes, it features an external master clock input via a 50ohm BNC connector. This allows you to sync the device with a 10MHz master clock for even higher levels of timing precision and audio performance.

The AES/EBU, Coaxial, and Optical outputs support PCM audio up to 24bit/192KHz. While the internal system can process higher resolutions like DSD256, these specific physical outputs are capped at the 24bit/192KHz standard.

The device is managed through a user-friendly Web GUI accessible via your network browser. This interface allows you to configure network file sharing, manage playback settings, and oversee your music library without needing specialized software.

The 64GB SSD is primarily intended for the operating system and metadata caching to ensure rapid, low-noise performance. If you have a large library, you should store your music files on a networked drive (NAS) or an external storage device, which the unit handles easily via NFS or SMB.
