NTP really is the gold standard, available on just about any platform, and pretty much trivial to configure.

(Yes, I know that some have had issues with Meinberg NTP on Whin*, but on review, that almost always seems to be failure to read the docs and configure correctly).

No jumps, complies with a standard, and just works.

And you can run a GPS with ntp, but best not USB - the delays/jitter in the USB connection really make that a mediocre solution at best, but better than nothing.  Best is a serial attached GPS with a PPS input . . . If you want to go there . . . :-)

Free and it creates a true NTP daem on on the PC. It runs a drift file line a Linux or UNIX system does so it can anticipate clock drift and you get better timing accuracy than your clock chip alone can provide. Step-tick on startup too.

Set it and forget it, it just works.
