The Antelope Audio Zodiac Gold was just reviewed in the latest Stereophile (Oct. 2011). If you are looking for a DAC w/ a great clock, who better then from the guys who make the best clocks?
Great unit - I just ran a side-by-side comparison with the Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 and there was no comparison. The Zodiac Gold was so much better that my friend (who owns the Wyred unit) said that he couldn't go back to listening to it when we left w/ the Zodiac. I'm not given to superlatives much, but it was simply waaay better.
I don't see the review listed online yet but it starts on page 54.
