I think the problem with adding or enhancing clocks is the added noise and RFI associated with such undertaking. Often causing more problems than it solves. (I think the chips should *not* be close to each other- For improved precision is offset by mutual RF interference.)I've never heard a digital rig that utilized complicated clocking and/or D/A schemes that I thought performed any better than simpler designs.
I think the biggest problem with digital designers is that they look at the potential improvements in a new design or method but totally disregard the potential consequences. Hence the overall sonic quality of digital audio products over the past 15 years has gone mostly sideways, if not even backwards.
I'm encountering more and more stories about people being surprised over how good older digital products sound. But if one investigates how digital audio design has evolved, such findings should not be so surprising.
