My two cents is that it has far less to do with the source (Bluesound here i think) than with the DAC or whatever the next stage is.
A re-clock will make up for poor jitter reduction in the following DAC. If its a great DAC with a very low jitter clock, then not.
beyond jitter you also want to keep ground noise out of the DAC/"digital" connection. Remember the digital connection is quasi analog (magnitude is digital, time domain is analog, determined by clocking). read my blog at sonogyresearch.com.
So there are many ways to achieve this - one of the best is to have a bridge and an Ethernet connection from source --> bridge ad then isolated USB --> DAC.
Get to the basics rather than throw expensive boxes at it. They can only do, basically, these two things.
