Some here go on and on about clocking and dacs. Yet with every high quality dac and sound card I have used (quite a few), even the clock cable and impedance matching affect SQ significantly.
As dCS suggested years ago in their manuals, don't always clock as per theory and sometimes recovered clocks can sound better than transmitted clocks.
In other words, cabling and clocking arranagements for a particular hardware set should be to listening and enjoyment purposes and not on the basis of whether transports should be clocked to the device or to a word clock. It may be that are cancelling or additive effects going on but theorising and not trying is no help at all to get better SQ.
