USB to SPDIF Convertors ideal?

Thanks, Flohmann.

Another unit that comes highly recommended is the new Audiobyte Hydra-Z DDC. Price is lower than the legendary Berkeley Audio DDC as well. Looks like a serious product.

Does anyone have a notion that there is any sound quality to be gained by using one of these devices, if for nothing more than a reclocker / master clock going in to the D200? I'm thinking by way of the AES or SPDIF ports, not USB (wishing to avoid the kluge conversions back and forth). Would you expect the Aurenders clocks and ps are as significant as a Berkeley or Audiobyte DDC?
