I don't think so, but I'm into wretched excess. The bigger question is; does it sound better? If its yes, then its not overkill

It may be overkill in the sense that you could put the money into a better digital converter that has superior clocking (and let the Mbox 2 be clocked from that via spidf) which would give you much more sonic benefit.

The Big Ben is more important when you have several digital sources you need to clock together.
