From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So... As long as you have ssh running open on the receiving server, you don't need the rsync daemon. Rsync client will ssh, then execute rsync recipient automatically.
The daemon is only for if you don't want to or cannot run ssh really.
Is there a specific reason you are looking at the daemon, or just unfamiliar?
Using the daemon also allows you to transfer faster by removing compression and encryption. It tends to hit the same rclone speeds without the data corruption issues.
