On the other hand if you are using NTP you have no need for a clock that does better than about 1e-8. Anything better is wasted. NTP at best cares about microseconds, not nanoseconds.
What I meant was that if you need to know the nuts and bolts of how NTP ref clocks work at the level of software internals the NTP list is the place to be. That level of expertise is rare here and common there. I was not implying at all that you should not be permitted to ask here, just that as a practical matter the experts are not here.
