Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter?


I'm thinking of getting a Benchmark 3 DAC, and one of the selling features is its UltraLock3™ jitter attenuation system, which Benchmark says "fully isolates the inputs from INTERFACE jitter" (emphasis mine).   If my upstream source has jitter, will this system isolate that from the DAC?  My usual source is a Blusound Vault, and I suspect its jitter control is not as good as the Benchmark's.

Wish I knew *exactly* what jitter sounded like. My system might be so full of jitter that it sounds like a garbage disposal to everyone but me, but how would I know? 
Best (and first) answer I found when researching “what does jitter sound like” came from John - 2009: 

“Like the sound of one hand clapping”.
