Word Clock Cable Upgrade

My Aurender N20 has a Word Clock output that I use to Sync to the Word Clock input on my MSB DAC. I use a Blue Jeans BNC Coax Cable. 
 

Is it worth upgrading this cable since it only carries Clock info and no Digital music signals? Before I spend hundreds of $ on an upgrade has anyone found this upgrade worthwhile? If so what benefit did it have to the sound quality?

The N20 has a clock input, not output.

My N30SA sounds slightly better (to my ears) in my system when connected to the clock in my MSB Reference. I use a Shunyata Sigma cable.

Yes Syncing with the MSB definitely sounds better even with my Lie cost Blue Jeans cable. The question is how much influence does the cable have. Will l get better sound with a more up scale cable?  Does the cable make much of a difference in this case?
