I agree with you. This external clock to dac business isn't flexible and is just as affected by impedance matching and cabling issues. Yes, the clock cable can make a big audible difference.Nobody seems to want to do it but it is much better having a good external clock with relocker. This way, you can actually feed a clock to the sound card, clean up the aes clock, discard the aes clock and generate your own, and compare the sonic results directly. (more or less)
In my experience, it is very important to have low jitter aes/spdif signal (into dac) which is symmetrical and has no impedance mismatch kinks (reflections)or high frequency oscillations. When fed to a good dac, this gives the best result regardless of clocking scheme. (provided that an excellent cable is used also).
It is not good enough to have a PC sound card aes output (most if not all are terrible irrespective of claims.)
