For the argument sake....upsampling

There are a number of Clock related threads elsewhere with posts that address some of your questions (including BNC cable related ones IIRC).

Maybe start with this post from James;

Dcs clock jitter specs

That’s actually a really good question. You’re right, absolute accuracy has much less of an impact on sound quality than jitter performance. Put another way, I believe the discrepancy on middle C worldwide is around 60,000 PPM, so we’re working at accuracies well above that as it is. Being perfectly frank, given this personally I do not have a solid explanation for why an incredibly accurate long-term clock would provide a sound quality increase. With that being said, we’ve had reports from cu…
