If I understood it correctly, yes it does, but
their concept of a
"network" is somewhat weird: it allows you to send data from one
machine to the other for remote processing, but it uses the
digital audio ports of the soundcards of the machines to pass
the audio data around (together with other data). Therefore, it
only works with audio cards with digital I/O and word clock.
It doesnt neccesarily require word clock, it depends if the card can sync
to its digital i/o ports or not.
Th reason they do this ofcourse is so they can bypass the whole
synchronisation nightmare and avoid resampling everything.
Synchronizing the A/D converters can also eliminate certain phase and
jitter problems that might otherwise occur. You definitely wouldn't
want a pair of stereo channels coming in over differently-clocked
converters, for example.
