dcs debussy

Hi. I heard the u clock coupled with a dcs puccini cd/sacd player.

Questions if somebody can help me (am a real newbie in here):
1. If i buy debussy connected to a mac mini or macbook without the u clock, do you think i will achieve same results? I got the impression the u clock function is included in the debussy
2. Do you think connectin 2012 mac mini (with usb 3.0) with debussy (usb 2.0) will work?
3. It is almost 3 years that debussy is in market. Do you think i should wait before making a dcs dac for a newer model?

Thanks Defride.

It seems the next immediate adversary for dCS is the EMM Labs.

will certainly pay more attention to DAC of the two

i really enjoy playing music through my mac mini running on amarra. DAC is mcintosh c48 connected through USB for its DAC.

Question:
1. I dont think i'll be able to audition any DAC to be used in my system at home before purchase. Does anyone think a master clock such as Puccini's will bring better sound?

2. will a better USB cable bring better sound qualities in similar way that power cord bring to one's system?

any input will be highly appreciated.

Fwiw,

I finally got Meitner MA1 and been using for couple of months and very happy with. Thanks for the recommendation for EMM as a source and led me to the Meitner
