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 DAC requests data from the player on its own timing rather than the player sending data on its own timing.
I have a DAC that can do either and is capable of reclocking, but using its internal clock only results in pops and clicks as the data stream goes out of sync (buffer empty, or buffer full), so in reality it's not usable this way. I leave it synced to input data stream from the SBT and it works fine.. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
