Do you mean DACs that use a sync signal to control jitter, as opposed

be the right thing to go chasing after?

No. the jitter on SPDIF will only minimally impact the output on a well
designed dac.

a 'reclocked' signal is almost garaunteed to be a worse output (not
necessarily distinguishable, mind) quality output.

With the 'async' SPDIF you will hear every bit correctly (and thats
still dependant on the conversion method). with a reclocked output,
given the clock will NEVER be a perfect match for the SPDIF clock
anyway, you are garaunteed to either drop or stretch a whole bit at some
point. ick.
