Hey slider,

-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
