[Discuss-gnuradio] Higher Accuracy Metadata Header?

I'm trying to time/sample synchronize RF recordings with two B200minis. I am using the detached Metadata File Sink in GRC. Both recordings are at 30MSps and both B200mini boards are synchronized to the same 1PPS signal.

My issue is this, when I extract the data from the Metadata header file, the "rx_time" value is only accurate to 10e-4 seconds (0.0001s). Which, with a recording at 30MSps, this will only give me a sample alignment accuracy to 10e-4(s)*30(MS/s) = 30,000 samples.

If I'm attempting to align the two recordings by samples or time, this is not nearly accurate enough. Is there a way that I can get more accuracy out of my metadata header or a way that I can synchronize the recordings of these B200minis?

Thanks,
Michael
