Thanks fellas. I understand that the analog signal is in essence infinite. While digital is basically on or off. So the better the components of AD/DA converters... the better the digital wave is in relation to the original analog. Thanks.

@metalhead3ecr When you factor in multiple converter units for big multitrack recording sessions, it's important to have everything synced up and sampling in time with each other.

@metalhead3ecr You know what analog wave looks like, right? When an analog signal is converted digitally, the analog wave is sampled at regular intervals to form a digital bit representation computers and digital circuitry can understand.
The problem is that if the analog wave is not sampled at consistent and precise time intervals, it affects the "shape" of the digital representation. Think of a clock (whether internal or external) as the converters' metronome.

@metalhead3ecr Sound On Sound (SOS) has a good article called "Does Your Studio Need A Digital Master Clock?" that discusses clock applications and empirically compares the broadband noise floor using a few different clocks (including the antelope) on a range of different AD/DA converters (behringer, focusrite, apogee, prism) at different speeds.
Long story short: the results of whichever clock you chose as a master are only as good as the slave devices (i.e., converters) are at accepting it.
