RE: $!000 for a USB ) I2S converter?

Yet another product (this time I2S) where the clock is put at the source side of the connection and not at the DAC side. This guarantees that the clock will be degraded by the time it reaches the critical place where it is actually used and creates a problem with isolating the DAC from jitter on the cable that would not exist if the clocking were at the DAC.

Would someone please explain to me why just about every manufacturer of "high end" products does this wrong?
