In theory, I would have to agree

Based on the data sheet of the Analog Devices ASRC chip used for sample rate conversion in the Benchmark, I can see no theoretical reason to use external dejitter boxes. See http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD1896.pdf, e.g., figure 8.

But then, it is hard to explain so many forum posts like those of Kenn below. Moreover, it is harder to explain things like the off-ramp, pace-car, superclock combinations offered by Empirical Audio, if a Benchmark DAC1 can solve all such problems for much less money.

At times like this I find myself resorting to a Charles Hansen like response along the lines of "something is going on, but we don't know what." Of course it could be that it is just me that doesn't understand what is going on, so I would be glad if anyone can offer some plausible theories.
