What i have learnt is that it doesn´t matter what speed it is clocked at earlier in the signal chain since digital isn´t a continuous stream of data, across devices like that. The whole idea with digital, and why it is a genius format, is that the packages can come in whatever order and state they want. It will still be rebuilt perfectly in the last DAC according to its clocking capabilities, unless those capabilities are degraded by noise. There isn´t less job for that last clock just becuase the data arrives in “better shape”, it rebuilds it the same regardless of how it arrives. (as i understands it)
