BTW, my experience shows that having the Apogee Big Ben as a clock source (they claim the internal clock jitter is so low and distributed in a bell shape that it is really below the measurement threshold of most measuring equipments)would work much better than looping the digital output through it for de-jitter purpose. And if possible using a single clock source such as Big Ben or other good master clock for all digital devices in the chain would result in very rewarding result.
