"The clock in the DAC is much more important than the clock in the streamer.
Thanks."
I would agree with that, provided that the DAC has "proper" design. This requires it to correctly implement the async USB architecture. I would not be surprised if any number of "well regarded" DACs to not work that way. It may be that even the DAC designer is not aware that his design is incorrect, because the error may appear inside a proprietary chip that comes with an incorrect or ambiguous specification of its operation.
