Mark,

Thank you. This is not only looking very hopeful, it's looking affordable (at
least in an industry where $10k speakers systems are "reasonably priced" :) )

Question below.

I see the clock outputs on the HDSP9652, but i don't see the clocks inputs on
the Benchmark dac1 or the RME ADI-2. What am i not understanding?
I'm looking at them here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ADI2/ and
here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DAC1/

The specs of the RME ADI-2 look fantastic. It can even be powered by batteries
which is ideal for a truly silent music background and dynamics and it also
accepts 192k. Then again the Benchmark looks better :)

Thanks again.
