HowdyIt all depends on where the data buffers are doesn't it? I don't know the chips involved and how much internal buffering they have without digging out a schematic and data sheets...
Anyway, none of these devices do the sane thing of sourcing the clock from the DAC (or other low jitter single master clock) to the transport and then back to the DAC like, say the Esoteric, Meitner, most pro audio gear, etc. with no PLLs, etc. Which was my point on the thread that John was talking about. You'll never convince me that PLLs (or their moral equivalents) and/or ASRC make any sense compared to the single (active) clock (no PLLs, etc.) setup. This is just common sense and not hard to implement (it just takes more wires than people want), unfortunately it not very common in consumer audio gear.
