I think the good performance comes from the right oscillator with a very quiet psu. I've seen Tent and Trichord Research (UK) use encapsulated oscillators with dedicated psu. Others Audionote, LC Audio use a descrete oscillator with low noise psu.
I suggest you look round on diyAudio. LC audio (Lars Clausen) posted the schematics for his older series of low jitter clock a while back [actually the one I have in my CD transport] Elso Kwak also posted a descrete circut. Tent is more careful about the info though.. There was also some discussion about VapleyFisher oscillators on there a while ago [http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31661&perpage=10&highlight=&pagenumber=1 - VF140] - perhaps you could get some samples Sean (and send me one!)
