The USB input is XMOS controlled and the digital section goes through two clocks, first sync then async:

Audionet chief designer Volker Wischniowski is the father of the DNA. Apart from the innovative circuit layout he primarily exercised utmost care with the component selection. If standard solutions won’t do, he simply orders custom-made types. But as his know-how meanwhile includes network technology as well, he’s been assisting i-fidelity.net with the configuration of their editorial router which at first refused to take notice of the DNA. This man can not only build high-end amplifiers ...
Especially in the DNA’s digital section Audionet has gone to great lengths. Hereby two premisses were relentlessly followed, without taking neither time nor costs into account. First the digital section had be specially protected against interferences both from outside and inside. And on the other hand the signal transmission must function perfectly. So the data transmission takes place via LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling). Designer Volker Wischniowski handles the increased interference susceptibility of this mode of transmission in the one volt range with a pc board layout of which he affirms convincingly: »Here we’ve truly come off with something special.«
When the signals arrive at one of the DNA’S coax inputs, they will first undergo a clock rate purification. Some of the involved parts have been quietened with some plasticine to efficiently suppress the emergence of even the faintest microphonic components. After that the Audionet generates its own new clock rate – this is a Bochum speciality with a high sonic relevance. The DSP board is equipped with a sampling rate converter which is used to upscale all signals to 192 kilohertz with no exception. In particular a good deal of brainpower was put into the component selection some of which are custom-made for Audionet – such as the Burr Brown PCM 1794 – and the construction. For it’s another Audionet speciality to keep jitter values extremely low. The audiophile connoisseur may allow the remark that Burr-Brown D/A converters of the highest and thus most expensive selection grade are used for the main channels in a dual mono configuration, hence exactly like in the VIP G3. Even for the D/A conversion of the subwoofer channels we can still find Wolfson 8740s. This type also fulfils the same task in the MAP I multi-channel preamp
