Well time will tell @GuillaumeB I will not be one of those who go down that road and buys an external clock. I have finally got rid of my spaghetti soultion with SOtM, Paul Hynes so no need to start over again laying awake at night thinking about clock cables
A external REF klock like Mutec will allways have a better spec than the internal Crystek CCHD-575 in a etherREGEN but always the disadvantage of being connected single ended with BNC connectors and a cable to it.
A clock like the Crystek that have really good specs sitting within mm from the synthesizer it is connected to and with a circuitboard with LVDS (low voltage differential signal) will be very robust in the way the clock signal is treated.
I suppose we will see rather soon if by-passing the Crystek and going with a external 10MHz signal directly to the Silicon differential clock synthesizer will be better
