Are the sonic benefits of clock-syncing signficant?

Posted by High-end Dreamer (A) on March 23, 2002 at 19:31:45

A number of high-end manufacturers (dCS and Burmeister, perhaps others) offer transports and DACs that can be synced to one clock (in the DAC for both Burm. and dCS). I have also noted that a fair amount of professional digital gear has the provision for clock 'slaving' to an external unit, so that one master clock serves as clock for a bunch of components.

How often are these master clocks typically employed in professional environments? And are the jitter-reduction and/or other sonic benefits of such a setup significant in the opinions of many engineers?

Thanks -

Mike
