I'm not an electronics guy, so maybe I'm missing something. These days, RAM is dirt cheap, so why don't DAC makers just add a gigabyte or two of memory buffer, and not have to worry about emptying or overflowing the "bucket" as they reclock the data on the way out? As long as the buffer is large enough to hold an entire track (or even a CD) worth of samples, wouldn't that permit a straightforward design that is truly jitter immune? Such a design could even permit pre-caching the music into the DAC as fast as the source device could deliver it.
