RE: 'Ultra-low jitter in my book is 10's of picoseconds, not 1nsec'

Yes, it is the only possible way that it stays synced. It must throw away samples. This is a feature of this particular receiver, and the DDDAC takes advantage of this. If the local clock is tuned fairly close to the stream source, then the drops are infrequent and probably not audible. If the stream and the local clock are different in frequency by say 1000PPM, then it may become audible IMO. This would be a missing sample about every second.
