So, what's the difference between async and reclocked? If reclocking is
about feeding back time adjustment info from DAC to transport,

It isn't.

does
asynchronus mean there's some sort of buffering in the DAC?

No, it means that there's no actual clock reference involved.

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.

Er, no, reclocking need not necessarioly drop *any* bits at all, since
you clock them into a buffer at one rate, and clock them out at
another rate. of course, you do need to ensure that the buffer is big
enough to cope with differences in the clock rates............

BTW, will you FFS get a newsreader that outputs defined line lengths?
Ideally about 70-72 characters.
