Ok - that makes sense.  I’m thinking that in the MC3+USB the job of the USB clock is to govern the rate at which the USB data is received.  Over time, this data must be received at exactly the same rate as the output, otherwise the FIFO buffer would empty or overflow.  Considering this, I would assume the MC3+USB’s output and USB clock would both take reference from the reference clock.  I might be wrong, but I think this makes sense.  Subjectivity, the results I am getting with my Devialet amp, which likes an AES/EBU feed, are superb.  So whatever the MC3+USB is doing, I’m pretty happy!

 

If @julian.david happens to check in, maybe he can advise.

 

Hmm, this is quite a bit outside of my technical comfort zone. I'm going to have to discuss this with Christian Peters, who will be back from vacation next week. Please stand by...
