Default Add a DAC to a cheap CD player?

With the 'async' SPDIF you will hear every bit correctly (and thats

anyway, you are garaunteed to either drop or stretch a whole bit at
some point. ick.


So, what's the difference between async and reclocked? If reclocking is
about feeding back time adjustment info from DAC to transport, does
asynchronus mean there's some sort of buffering in the DAC?
