I don't profess to be an electronics engineer or circuit design guru but conventional wisdom says that since a digital signal is clocked, you're not going to get any "wow and flutter". But, of course, you can have time-related issues with digital such as jitter and various kinds of waveform distorion ("actual" square waves look more like truncated triangle waves on a scope...)

Theory says that a buffer would handle the anomalies of timing issues with the data coming into the buffer, but from what I've read it all depends on the clocking scheme.

Cheers,
