DAC reclocking using XO

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I'm building out a DIY DAC, and it uses a separate reclocking oscillator at 11.2 MHz. The suggested part is the *expensive* XO clock from Guido Tent. With the horrible exchange rates it will probably run 45 bucks.
On digi-key, I found some clock oscillators made by Citizen that operate at the same voltage requirements and frequency, and they cost 3 bucks. It even has the same exact pin layout, from what I can tell on the data sheet...
Am I crazy here, or can I just drop in this part and possibly get Corvette performance instead of Porsche?
