How can I tell if I need a better clock for my DAC?

I was interested in the responses to a related post by leemaze this week, saying that a Synchro Mesh was a good way to improve a DAC with subpar jitter.  I have a Cambridge CXU, with an inboard DAC; how could I determine how much jitter it has?

Sorry that first 75ohm bnc plug link, was a bnc to rca adapter, not a plug. what I meant to put up was this.

Proper spdif connection between transport and dac should be made using 75ohm bnc.
rca is not true 75ohm and this can also introduce jitter.
