DAX frequency accuracy

With digital modes on conventional sound cards clock timing and sampling frequency have an effect on frequency "calibration" What is the source of the clock in DAX? Does it derive from the radios reference or the PCs reference or both? Does that or any latency involved effect frequency accuracy in digital modes? I must admit I can't detect any error. Andrew

It appears that there may be an error of 20ppm in the DAX handled signal in my case on one PC.0

VAC claims a clock correction accuracy of 1E-8%
How good is DAX?

Since there are two parts to the DAX connection the part in the Radio and the part that interfaces with the Audio processing in the computer. I would think that signal accuracy primarily originates at the radio end as a function of the radios reference clock which sets the frequency accuracy of the Analog to Digital conversion. So the resulting Audio will follow the radios accuracy. At the computer end I would think that it is the system clock which also sets the time. DM-780 has a Audio Card frequency display and on my computer I see it stay within 8000.3 HZ +- .3 HZ or better sometimes I see it at 8000.00 Hz. It would be nice to have a Theory of operation section in the manual that could answer many of these questions.0
