RE: That would only be the case if the 'high quality' clock was...

I would not suggest changing clocks on a DAC circuit board if you don't know what you are doing. The physical layout of the parts on the board and the circuit traces are all controlled impedance (or should be) and the layout must be optimized for best performance. It is entirely possible that replacing a good clock with a better clock might produce worse performance if this is not done right. For example, if the wiring is not optimal then the result may be less jitter at the clock but more jitter inside the DAC chip where it matters.
