About the 3R Master Time Black Star
The 3R Master Time is a USB only regenerator, re-clocking and 'USB re-driving' machine. In essence it takes any USB data stream, from even the most basic source such as a budget laptop, breaks it down, re-clocks it and aquirts it out with much lower noise and with much less timing jitter. High noise and high jitter are of course the well identified enemy of sound quality, so the 3R Master Time used in a USB-based system will take sound quality up to a whole new level.

Tech Insight
The 3R Master Time uses the latest generation programmable on-chip USB signal boost and correction algorithms for both input and output re-clocking processes. Where often the precision and quality of USB processing in standard mass-produced components is average at best, these algorithms rebuild the USB stream with the timing of the data presented more accurately, and with greatly reduced bacground noise too.
Matching & Setup
The 3R Matser Time can be a revelation when used in any mid to high end system that runs on USB data. The improvement in every element of peformance is significant. But where this machine can also be used to great effect is in high-end recording and mastering suites. So whether you're a pro recording engineer, or an enthusiastic amateur, using the 3R Master Time to condition and re-clock your USB data streams will significantly improve the final sound of your recording and mastering projects.
