RE: "When the DAC ..is asynchronous, it should not be affected by any jitter from the computer"

Hey slider,

you wrote :
"That has to come about from good engineering on the DAC side in order to keep all the jitter in the interface circuit clocks out of the audio clocks (and data as well)...."

-that´exactly my point.
With soft- and hardware working in tandem, the interface circuit uses only one point of clocking (the one at the converter).

Where a streaming client/network player has no possibility of installing a dedicated driver software, a computer can be configured to use a tailored driver protocol which allows the player software to be slaved to the external clock only.
In such configuration an asynchronous interface is a requirement.

Needless to say that the precision and quality of the entire circuit then is determined by this clock.

kind regards
