You mean you want an audio interface that can accept an external clock? These are common. Must mid to high level interfaces allow you to select the clock source. It is a very important feature if you are recording so the playback is at the exact correct pitch
I have a "Firebox" made by Presonus. It is a Firewire/Audio interface that accepts a clock via s/pdif. http://www.presonus.com/products/detail.aspx?productid=4 I use it for audio, home studio kind of stuff but also as a front end for a software o'scope and spectrum analyser. The Firebox has several balanced inputs, takes single ended too and has two 55dB gain pre-amps. To find more of these, and there are plenty with prices from about $150 to four digits, you need to shop some place that sells to musicians and recording engineers and not to gamers and home theater people. IMO the best retailer to work with a sweetwater.com they have free shipping, free extended warenty and life time free tech support (no I don't work there) What makes then unique is that they have a recording studio on site and real audio engineers to talk to. Call them and explain what you need to do just don't be shocked at the difference in price from grammer sound card and pro audio gear. (I got the Firebnox on sale for about $250) BTW, do you really need PCI? The best stuff is going to be Firewire interfaced and then USB. The inside of a PC chassis is just the worst place to pick up electronic "hash" and EMI. Sensitive electronics like this does best in it's own box and with it's own power supply. OK, in short, your problem is common. Any recording studio would want all their DA and AD converters running of the same master clock.
