Silent Angel Genesis GX Word Clock

Silent Angel Genesis GX Review – Precision Clocking That Transforms Your System

The foundation of high-fidelity digital audio lies in one critical element: timing. The Silent Angel Genesis GX word clock is engineered to refine that timing with absolute precision, offering a transformational upgrade for digital music systems. Whether you're running a high-end streamer, DAC, or network switch, this ultra-precise master clock injects stability and musical coherence into every note.

Engineered for Audiophile Precision

Built with obsessive attention to detail, the Genesis GX is a dual-output word clock that offers fixed frequencies of 10MHz and 25MHz, ideal for syncing a wide range of high-end digital audio components. Whether you're connecting to a Silent Angel Rhein Z1 Plus music streamer, Bonn NX network switch, or other BNC-compatible devices, the Genesis GX ensures your system communicates in lockstep—minimizing jitter, reducing digital distortion, and bringing out subtle layers in your music.

Internally, the unit houses two ultra-low-phase-noise oscillators, each independently calibrated and thermally stabilized. These high-grade oscillators ensure exceptional clock accuracy, which translates into tighter bass, a more defined soundstage, and stunning clarity across the frequency range.

Connectivity That Enhances Any Digital System

The Genesis GX features four gold-plated BNC outputs—two dedicated to 10MHz and two to 25MHz. This allows you to simultaneously sync multiple devices within your audio setup, offering both flexibility and future-proof integration. Whether you're refining a reference-level stereo system or expanding a networked audio chain, the Genesis GX becomes the beating heart that keeps every digital signal in time.

A convenient toggle on the front panel allows users to switch between internal and external reference modes, giving you full control over how your system locks onto timing signals. This adaptability makes the Genesis GX an ideal upgrade not just for Silent Angel gear, but for any component that supports 10MHz or 25MHz clock inputs.

Power Supply Upgrade Options

Out of the box, the Genesis GX includes a high-quality internal switching power supply. However, for audiophiles seeking the absolute best performance, the unit is designed to accept an external linear power source via its 12V DC input. Pairing it with the Silent Angel Forester F2 linear power supply further reduces electrical noise, resulting in blacker backgrounds, more dynamic energy, and superior micro-detail retrieval.

Specifications:

• Clock Frequencies: 10MHz x2, 25MHz x2 (BNC outputs)
• Oscillators: Dual high-stability, low phase noise
• Outputs: 4 x BNC (50Ω)
• Power Input: DC 12V (external linear power supply supported)

Final Verdict

For audiophiles chasing absolute timing precision and musical transparency, the Silent Angel Genesis GX is a revelation. Its focused design, robust build quality, and upgrade-friendly architecture make it a must-have for anyone seeking to elevate their digital front-end. Add an external Forester F2 power supply, sync your favorite gear, and prepare to rediscover your entire music library—with better timing, richer tones, and breathtaking realism.
