Hi,
      Mostly the use of dedicated word clock modules is for synch-to- 
video audio editing, or for synchronizing multiple channels of  
converters, as in a multi-track context (Pro Tools or Logic session,  
rather than, say, soundBlade or SADiE).
      If doing mono or stereo capture for audio purposes, only, then  
a 2-channel analog to AES/EBU converter should be run on internal  
clock.    If the internal clock is worse than using a reference  
clock. use a better converter. (;
