To clock or not to clock?

Hi,

I am considering adding the Esoteric G 05 clock to my system. 

My digital front end is an Esoteric K 01 XD which is connected with a USB cable to an Esoteric N 03 T operating in RAAT mode and connected to a Roon NUC via the LAN.

According the K01 manual, “the USB input does not support clock synchronization.”

So far, I have not tried out any other ways of connecting the K 01 to the N 03 T as I gather that, by using USB, both streamer and DAC are controlled by the same clock.  The USB connection also supports higher bit rates than RCA or optical.  So far, I have not come across 32-bit files in the wild.

My dealer lent me a TEAC clock.  While playing a high-quality CD the sound became very precise, almost etched, but not in a bad way.  Not sure how that would work out long term.  With a rather poor CD the added precision was not helpful at all.

The K01 has a Grandioso Custom VCXO II clock; the G05 is a SXT 03 OCXO clock.  I know nothing about clocks, and I wonder if the G05, being only a clock, would improve upon the K01 clock.

As I stream about 80% of the time, to really benefit from a better clock it would be necessary to change the way of connecting the DAC to the streamer and have both devices synchronized by the G05.

I would be grateful for any advice on this idea, especially from people who have tried a similar move.
