crwilli, no worries I am confused too about this topic sometime! One good place to learn about digital clock and how they are use/important in digital playback for DAC like the dCS ones, is actually on dCS website.

If you go on dCS website and read a bit on the dCS Vivaldi "stack" (aka clock+upsampler+DAC+ transport) they explain what each unit does and why they have a separate component for the clock - to synchronize all the digital equipment together. Think of it this way: no clock or bad clock = everything bad about digital sound; while good clock = a digital playback that could rival with analog playback...

Hope this helps...
