Also, if the DAC is set to Master how can it sync to an external clock input? If it syncs to an external clock signal it is not the Master anymore. A digital device is Master when it syncs to its internal clock only.

This is specific to dCS. As far as I know there are no standards defined. For Scarlatti DAC, the sync button has 2 'master' options: WClk (external master clock) & Master (internal master clock). The remaining option is called Audio (for slave).

  I see... The first "master" option, WClk, is just the name for slaving the DAC to an external Master Clock, so technically the DAC is not the Master, it's just slaved to an external Master Clock.
