Is this jitter or what? What's the best solution, trying to find a
2-channel D/A with word clock out to cable to the DM-24 (with WC daisy
chained from the DM-24's WC "thru" jack to the HD24), or buying a
master clock (eg, Lucid)?

It's mostly quality of D/A conversion and jitter is part of it.
You need a quality D/A which is jitter immune. It'll help sound ten fold
more than a house clock driving lousy converter.

Our Stereo96 DAC is completely jitter immune without any WCK IN or OUT,
they are simply not needed.
