| I'm entirely familiar with jitter and have spent a mint taming it in the studio and even my home theater. I've put in a lot of reading and listening time with different types of clocks with different points of origin (internal, external, synced from one source, daisy chained, etc.) and my opinion is that one source dictating to others is best.
You are right - it's one man's opinion - but unless things have changed dramatically since the time that I dug in deeply a couple years ago, then it's also a common opinion that a simplified clock structure received from one master is best. But if this topic is more about the clock design itself, not the syncing of multiple clocks, then I'll quietly duck out and be on my way.
For the record, in each of my studios, there is one master to which each subsequent digital device slaves and this has been the method which sounds bests. But I'll gladly reconfigure if those who I consider authorities can show that there's a better method, enough so that it would be worth the time and effort to experiment. |
