Per request I have started a new thread for this topic. I originally posted it under the new Deva announcement as it pertains to Zaxcom users primarily.
Let me risk sliding into a ditch on this one.
I have been putting together an updated home rig Lynx Aurora VT16, SPL MixDream , Neve MBP among other pieces. In my rooting around and research Ext Clocking has reared its ugly head again.
Here's the paper that stirred my interest.

Granted we have very stable recording devices thanks to people like Glenn and other engineers that are highly educated and very aware of our needs.
When we went from tape to DAT and generally speaking it was assumed "well it's digital" 1's and 0's right? Come to find out there were many ways to come up with 1's and 0's and you could hear the difference.
I'm sure some of you have used word clock on your Deva's and other devices and that has been an option.
I am curious to know what the popular opinions are regarding us having access to this option going forward.
I certainly don't want to doubt Mr. Sanders and assume he didn't think of everything and perhaps I just need a more in depth understanding of why we wouldn't need this or how it may be a moot point.
In my over simplistic mind I imagine that it would be a simple software adjustment to make an AES input available to an external clock.
Perhaps I'm naive and if so please enlighten me with out using a flamethrower.
thanks,
