The only solution that is uncompromised for audiophile playback involves the clock being located right next to the DAC chip. (This may not be practical for multichannel studio applications.) The source needs to somehow be slaved to this clock, at least in frequency. The alternative, of slaving the DAC clock to a remote source clock can never be as good, if only because there are more components in the clock circuitry to create jitter.
The Tanley outputs digital, but does not accept an input clock from the DAC. It may have very high quality at its output connector, but by the time the clock arrives at the DAC it will have been degraded and have to be cleaned up again.
