I'm not certain but the luxury version may be based on the last straight version of the Valab with the 2nd TCXO attached to the top of the DAC board. The 2nd TCXO there was put in line before the DAC board. USB in that version went through 2 TCXOs and forced the SPDIF/DIR9001 through the second one. The luxury version may be the same with it integrated into the PCB. Unless you have some pretty advanced DIY skills it may not be worth thinking about a way around the 2nd clock in the luxury version. If you have the skill and you figure it out, you'd be doing a new, useful mod for the Valab thread. Good luck. Seriously.
