Why didn't you use the Word Clock Out of the RME when set to Master? At least this way the clock would not be embedded in the SPDIF signal...

It doesn't make any sense for the DAC to have lower jitter when it has to extract the clock from an SPDIF signal than being directly controlled by its internal oscillator.

  That configuration won't work. DAC as slave recovers clock from SPDIF. Other clock connections are not used.

    Then how did it work with the Scaralatti Master Clock? How does it matter if the DAC receives the clock from the external Master Clock or from the RME card through the same BNC connector? Is it because the file played is upsampled at 88.2 or 96 and the Word Clock input will not accept these sample rates?
