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?

Does using a USB cable accomplish the same thing? The DAC Clock then controls the Streamer?

No doesn’t work that way. You need a specific Word Clock connection between the Streamer and DAC for the Streamer to be synchronized with the DAC clock. I believe this means the DAC clock is the driver.

Harmonic Technolgies make nice cables that won’t kill you. Copper about 110 and Silver around 160 .  Easily resold if you don’t appreciate the bump
