External Word Clock

[msmales555]

I currently use two firepods chained together and I was thinking about adding a few preamps to my rack as well by means of the spdif inputs on the firepods. This got me thinking about external word clocks.....do I need one? Will one improve the performance of the two firepods as far as staying in sync is concerned?.....especially if I add two or three preamps to the mess?

So....what is a good, dependable word clock that would have enough hookups to sync up four or five devices?

Thanks!

I just posted about the Black Lion Audio microclock in your other thread there. It's got three outputs, and I've only used it for two devices. I've been impressed with it, however, for what it is -- a no-frills word clock. Sturdy construction, and very straightforward interface. There's no LED or anything, but the other devices let me know soon enough whether it's connected properly or not.

Note that this is the only external clock I've used, so I'm not the best source for comparative recommendations.
