eos time Highest Precision USB Relocking Streamer
THANK YOU!
for purchasing the Ideon Audio eos time.
This device is among the highest performing precision USB Re-Clocking
platforms available today.
The eons time uses proprietary circuit design and component selection; in
action it dramatically improves the sound from digital computer audio files,
music streaming services (like Spotify, iTunes, Tidal, etc.), even from low-
res audio-vid (e.g. YouTube) playbacks!
eons time
Gideon Audio’s egos time connects between the digital output like a computer
or a music server, and the DAC. It achieves amazing sound performance by
uncovering lost detail, enhancing dynamics, re-clocking the signal using
ultra-low jitter oscillators, and minimizing transmission losses. The
performance enhancements are immediately evident and phenomenal.
Cutting edge technology: based on Ideon Audio’s proprietary design, the eos
time, deploys
- Triple ultra-low noise linear power supply
- Femto, ultra-low noise phase clock
- Dual re-drive signal conditioning chip
- Modular digital core for future updates
The egos time’s secondary but very important function is that it disconnects
the computer’s noisy 5v bus power coming down the USB cable, providing clean
5v BUS to its output – for DACs that need it and can benefit from this
feature! – via a second ultra-low-noise regulator.

In the rear panel of the device there is a 5v on switch – as seen in
illustration below.
With this switch set to the on position, the 5v power rail is on – to the USB
cable (power goes through the USB cable).
When not set to the on position, the 5v power rail is cut off off from the USB
cable resulting in better, cleaner data transmission. This switch is included
as some DACs do not provide power to the USB cable; it can also help you to
experiment with different USB cables. Unless necessary, however, we recommend
you leave this power rail off.
In the rear panel as shown in the illustration below, you will also find the
USB In and Out sockets (to connect the host and the DAC with the corresponding
USB cables) and the On/Off switch of the device.
In the front panel of the device as shown in the illustration below there are 3 indicator lights:
- the power light shows that the device is on
- the lock light shows that the egos time has successfully connected to the DAC
- the host light shows that the the egos time has successfully connected to the computer
Safety Instructions
- WARNING. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
- Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not place flammable material on or underneath this device.
- Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on the end of the AC cord unless necessary to reduce hum from ground loops of connected equipment. Disconnecting the ground may cause RFI (radio frequency interference) to be induced into your playback setup. Removing or bypassing the ground pin on any electrical component is potentially dangerous and should be avoided for safety reasons.
- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
