the new black lion audio word clocks use MEMS oscillators. the latest MEMS oscillators are supposed to outperform crystal oscillators. in europe the availability is still poor, the mini wouldn't be ludicrously expensive at $299 but it's probably going to cost around $400 in europe. couldn't i DIY this type of thing though? would i need to order custom PCBs, i don't know how much that would cost?

in some cases they have been shown to have a measurable benefit as well as people hearing a difference
