Yes, it was the Naim approach that I had in mind when I mentioned "an absurd number of crystals". With only a few crystals then one will have to have a huge buffer, with resulting limits on responsiveness to user play controls (and suitability for live recording applications) and length glitch free playback.
None of this complexity is necessary if the DAC just outputs a clock that the transport can accept. The problem is that none of the consumer standards except async USB address this issue, making the proper solution impossible to obtain in a standardized plug and play fashion except via USB. IMO USB is not a very good system to have anywhere close to the mixed signal circuitry in a DAC and so this adds substantial costs to a high quality DAC to achieve the needed isolation.
