Do I understand correctly:
In principle there is no difference between adaptive and asynchronous mode other than in the first case the sender does the timing, and in the second case it is the receiver doing the timing.
If the quality of the clock is the same in both cases, the result will be the same.
The advantage of asynchronous is that one can improve on the sound quality by using a better clock.
So asynchronous mode is not better by design but by implementation because you can implement a top quality (low jitter) clock in the DAC.
