I think it's more complicated with an asynchronus DAC. I don't think my CD player's clock is used. I heard that from my dealer, but I haven't had a chance to check out all the technical stuff. 

If you can budget one of the Berkeley Audio Design's Alpha USB models + a quality AES/EBU cable and quality USB cable, then run your questions passed a Berkeley engineer.

They would know if there are streamers or DACs that are not compatible with their Alpha USB re-clockers.

I have never tried to contact them.  So I do not know if they are reachable or if they will respond to inquiries.  But I think that they would want to help a new customer, and you would get a real answer (not just more questions).

I've had similar positive experiences with the Berkely Alpha Design Alpha USB interface. Plan to post about it separately when I have time. Will provide link in this thread when I do.

Is this still on your radar?

@seymour-krelborn

Yes. I posted about BAD Alpha USB here. Cheers.

BAD team responds rapidly to their [email protected] address. Micheal Ritter, one of the designers/owners often replies himself. At least, his signature is at the bottom of the reply.
