My suggestion is to have at least one Dante device with a word clock input, so that when externally controlled by a reference clock, it becomes DANTE MASTER CLOCK
It is a feature contained in the Dante controller....if you have more than one Dante device and if you not select any preferred master clock, the network itself chooses the best clock present by an algorithm, otherwise if you have a device that can have external reference, by default it is set as preferred master if you check "sync to external" box
The fact is that IMHO clocks onboard Dante devices are good ones, (I tried focusrite and Yamaha devices) but not as much as in dedicated clocks, or even in good grade (not Dante) gear...the Yamaha DME is a 8000$ (without cards) mixer processor that can be quite easily found used for 800-1000$ and with a Dante card becomes future proof
