Not understanding something here –

That "at the moment" is intriguing!
My question is would it be possible to slave the onboard clock to a high quality external master clock, despite the absence of word clock, i/o via Firewire with something like the Big Ben?

BIG BEN has an expansion slot for the optional X-FireWire card. With the X-FireWire card installed, BIG BEN can synchronize digital devices that provide inadequate clock signals such as keyboards, synth modules and other FireWire based devices to provide a stable, well synchronized environment for your entire studio.

Personally I'm pretty sure I'd be happy enough with the AD DA as standard, at least for the time being. But it would be good to have a clear upgrade path available - especially with SO much AD DA conversion going on inside this box and it being unreasonable to expect top class conversion / clocking at this price point.
