Oops, I didn't answer Rio's question. As long as you are doing the reclocking in the DAC the jitter in the SB doesn't matter much. This means you can use horrible transmission technology to get the MCLK into the SB and as long as it can see some vestige of a square wave it will work fine. My first attempts at this just used a simple piece of ribbon cable about two feet long with no termination or impedance control at all. I just used a 74HC08 (I had one on hand) to buffer the signal to the SB so the horrendous reflections etc on the cable wouldn't be affecting the clock inside the DAC.
Even with that very bad signal the SB took the clock just fine and the analog outs even sounded better. That surprised me, I was expecting that the simple connection would introduce more jitter than the internal crystal. It sounds like even so it was lower jitter anyway.
