Without SRC you would have to run your Project Rate at the same sample rate as the Digital Input (and external device).
2) Allows you to have more than one clock domain present in a digital system. Normally only one device can be the clock master in a digital system, but with SRC you can have more than one clock domain and the sample rate converter will keep everything OK.
Of course there is a price to pay for everything, and Sample Rate Conversion does effect the audio quality. However the SRC on the AES16e-SRC has 144dB dynamic range, so I doubt you could actually hear any artifacts from the SRC.
By the way, the first AES16e cards shipped to customers today.
Thank you,
