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?


thats not reality, sorry.

the 'reclocked' signal is simply one that has been resynchronised to
another clock, with bits added / discarded to suit the difference in
clock speed between the spdif clock and the reference one.


I wonder - would the DAC ensure the discarded bits are the least
significent ones?
If so wouldn't the worst reclocking can do just lower the resolution from
16 to 15
bits for 1/44000 of a second?

To minimise this effect components should be placed side by side, not
stacked.
Most hi-end gear was not designed to handle the effects of relitivity.
