Dante seems able to look after clocking itself. Why should I need to be involved in Leader Clock device selection?
Most of the time, you do not need to be involved in the Leader Clock selection process. Dante guarantees that the Leader Clock device will be by default the strongest candidate.There are certain circumstances in which the automatic Leader Clock selection may be inappropriate. For example, a system may have a device that is periodically connected and disconnected, e.g., an input to the network from a stage box or mixing console. This device may not be always present and thus would be a poor choice for a Leader Clock. Using the Preferred Leader setting in Dante Controller, you may designate as a Leader Clock a device (or devices) that is always present for the entire time that the network is required to function.More info
