Correct , I meant coaxial digital link.
Just out of interest then, How would you connect a USB FROM SBT TO DAC
as Asynchronous .Which Output on the SBT would you use..?... I
always thought the USB ON the SBT was INPUT ONLY.
I am assuming the phrase "analogue input" refers to the coaxial digital
link myself.

Basically unless it's connected via USB2, the DAC is slaved to the SBT,
using EDO or otherwise.

Yeah the name "asynchronous" seems to usually refer to DACs that support
the USB2 asynchronous audio driver, not the other type that just uses an
independent clock, despite it being arguable that both are a type of
asynchronous..

I think there is confusion between "asynchronous DAC" and "DAC with
asynchronous USB input" here.
Yes, a DAC can run in a completely independent clock domain (from a
clock completely isolated from the input), and this is fairly common
these days. The problem is of course getting ahead or behind
DACs often reclock, but they have to "tune" their internal clock source
to take account any small variation between it and the incoming data
rate. Unfortunately the act of using a clock that can be tuned tends to
reduce its jitter performance somewhat so the ideal is asynchronous USB,
whereby the
