...but in the thread only fmak deals with this query. All of the other responses concern re-clocking (including the other references to Big Ben which relate to its function as a reclocker rather than as a word clock source) or to an aftermarket replacement clock (the Ultraclock). Hence my confusion.
Yes, audiophile master clocks do cost a lot. You don't like the drift of the Big Ben so I would suggest the dCS Verona although I don't recall drift being mentioned in the spec. Only guaranteed accuracy to 1ppm, typically 0.1ppm. As dCS are bringing out a new further upmarket range (!) there are likely to be used samples around to save you money.
I still don't know what you want to achieve though aside from having something to plug into your wordclock input. My experience is that using a master clock in a three box system provides rather marginal improvement at a substantial cost.
