actually, yes, an internal PLUS an external clock option would be
best for the AD/DA. And: the internal clock should have an "insert"
design, where you have the clock available at an output, normalled to
the external clock input socket. this way you could insert a logic
module (like an "and") fed by the internal clock and an external
one....in the simplest usage this would enable a "sample and hold"
using a gate for external clock: sampling at internal frq while
gate=on and holding last value while gate=off.
or of course two audio rate clock signals AND-ed would probably
cause very interesting destruction of the sampled input (especially
interesting with simple input signals).
