Correct. Or just use the World Clock output. Word typically needs to be upconverted to a higher frequency to be useful for Delta-sigma converter ICs. This multiplication also multiplies the jitter. Digital like spdif has encoded clock in the MHz range and typically is divided down, also dividing jitter. I'd always use the digital stream as clock source if necessary to have an external clock of any type. I've found this to be true by my ears. I've always thought SPIDF or ADAT sounded better clocking through. SPIDF namely.

Really? I’m using wc. Seriously doubt wc and a digital connection sounds different. In fact, I would think optical would be the worst way to try and clock.

ADAT, yeah, pretty terrible simply because of the specs for ADAT allow huge amounts of jitter. Optical spdif is better, coax spdif even more so. But if you don't hear much difference, that's a good sign. I think the fear of clocking jitter is a bit overblown these days. Some jitter might even help make things sound smooth.
