Word Clock

Word-Clock will not solve it. If you use WC to sync a system, then by definition the clock in that system must be a PLL. WC frequency is not Master Clock frequency. Its the MC, which is typically 256 times the WC that must have low-jitter.

This is why in my discontinued Pace-Car reclocker, I distributed Master Clock not WC. If WC is used to control a local oscillator in the DAC, the jitter will be significantly higher than using a Master Clock in the DAC and distributing it to the source.
