yes. once the latency is compensated for and one beat is aligned, 
they're
all aligned.

that means that the MD clock sampling is likely higher resolution than 
the virus;
which I believe is the case.

does it give you a ms measurement of each clock signal? if they're not
evenly spaced then yes you have a problem.

try not running the UAD and Powercore and start a Cubase session
with just a MIDI clock being sent to the MD.  then check the timing
in MIDIOX.  this way, your machine can dedicate everything to
just sending MIDI clock.  if it can't do that, then it seems Cubase
is at fault (not your interface as I believe MIDIOX monitors MIDI
before it gets to the interface).  then look and see if there's any
parameter related to MIDI clock exporting that you haven't
checked.
