Today's top class players use propriatary clocklink and there is no standart for it. If you use transport and DAC from different companys you can't have clocklink.
Seperates may have benefits because each unit is optimized for it's unique task. Of course the price will be higher for two chassis, two power supplies and two power cords. And you have the option to tune your combo with after market digital connections between the two units.
My personal experience:
My Wadia 270/27ix combo is significantly better than the 861 I had before, but also costs twice as much.
