The Well Tempered Master Clock - Group buy

My package has arrived, very nice, thank you, Andrea!:)
I have a little question, the boards needs 3,3v and 6v. So do I apply one supply LDO for 2 boards of 6v (or 3,3v) or for the better performance I have to apply separate LDO-s for all supply input? (I have just one 6v supply now)

You can use two LDOs to supply both oscillators (6V for both oscillators and 3V3 for both squarers).

I'm working on a discrete DAC and I would use the best crystal (reasonably) available.
For the DAC I need only low frequencies oscillator, 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, so there is no reason to start from crystals at high frequencies dividing down by a large factor.
I don't care about the bit clock, since it comes from an FPGA starting from the local oscillator at 50 MHz. Once the FPGA has fed the shift registers of the DAC it will be stopped, avoiding interference with the word clock.

Since the lower the frequencies of the crystal, the higher its Q and theoretically the lower the phase noise, I would use 5.6448 and 6.144 MHz.

Then I decided to start a new GB to see if we can meet the MOQ for such that crystals at lower frequencies as possible.
In order of preference:
1) SC-Cut 5.6448 and 6.144 MHz
2) SC-Cut 11.2896 and 12.288
3) AT-Cut 5.6448 and 6.144 MHz
 
I got the parts for 45/49 SC cut Driscoll, and I soldered to the board. But none of board works properly. It jumps between 70-80MHz, but no stabile frequency. What can I do? I try to set the half voltage on C3 but the max is 2,2V instead of 3V at the end of the trimmer turns.
