The server in your screenshot is marked with the 'x' symbol, meaning
it doesn't agree with the PPS source. I assume the PPS source has the
trust option, otherwise both should have the 'x'. The reported +/-
value is quite small. That would indicate a HW-based server, or
interleaved mode enabled.
At this level, it's difficult to tell which source is more accurate.
How exactly is the PPS signal connected? If it's something using
interrupts like serial port, you might need to specifiy an offset for
the PPS source.
