Can (or should) you “Reclock” a Bluesound Node?

I have one going into a pretty darn good system.

I know this could start a jitter discussion, but is there any SQ benefit in connecting the Node to a reclocking device like Wyred4Sound or Denafrips then to your outboard DAC?

the goal being to reduce jitters and feed the DAC with a purer digital signal?

I know they range from $200 to $4,000.
have always wondered if a “digital transport” feeding a dac would add value.

sure, I’m gonna listen me self, but thought to ask you guys,

i tried a w4s reclocker on the digital output of a node 2i early on when i was climbing the learning curve streaming... could not hear a difference with and without

different experience when using a stock sonos streamer... reclocking definitely improved many aspects of the sound

iirc correctly the dacs i had at the time were a chord qutest, a mhdt stockholm and an rme adi2
