The new Ultraclock from Audiocom may fit the bill. Your DAC needs I2S clocks anyway, so if your source can take a master clock such as 11.2896MHz instead of a word clock, this should work great. The Big Ben does improve things, but like all reclockers of this kind, it is S/PDIF in and S/PDIF out. This defeats the purpose of reclocking to reduce jitter. The master clock should be located as close to the D/A chip as possible and drive a clock back to the source as slave. Teh only reason that word-clocks are typically used is that they are lower frequency. There must be a PLL in the source device. If you send back the master clock, then no PLL is required.
