In theory yes, if the rosetta's clock has lower jitter then you will get
less jitter on the D/As.

Perhaps you could play a file back on the computer, and keep changing the
sync between internal and external on the gina control panel, and see if
you can hear a difference.

By the way, in response to your other post, I have an Echo Gina as well,
and the D/As on my Delta1010 and Arcam CD player both sound a little
better to me.

Anyone in pro audio who had any real analog television production
experience, or digital telecom experience, knows that a master sync or
clock is an absolute necessity for EVERYTHING in the chain, for
obvious reasons. I can't believe how incompetently digital audio gear
is sychronized, and how few people really know how a clock heirarchy
is supposed to set up. It's part of the reason that I find digital
audio recording to be lame.
