Over eager reclocking is one of the prime reason why digital audio can sound so synthetic through some DACs. A lot of the "goodness" in the signal can get discarded after being incorrectly identified as noise or a signal error. Soundstage, or the lack of it, tends to be a dead give away of an over active clock.
