Difference between transport and DAC clocks?

[Bas Horneman]

What is the difference between a clock for a CD player and a clock for a DAC?

For instance Tentlabs have a XO2 (CD / transport ) clock but also sell a XO DAC for dacs?

Konnichiwa,

Well, in principle a clock is a clock is a clock....

BUT, in a DAC, unless you want to re-clock asyncronously (which has interesting effects but which I do not recommend) you need to be able to syncronise the clock to the vaerage clock frequency of the transport, without adding jitter.

Guido's clock for a DAC does exactly that....
