Jitter clock in transport or dac?

I use a Marantz SA-8400 sacd player (the european two-channel version of the SA-8260) as a transport, feeding a Bel Canto DAC2.

The Marantz has been modded a bit, with the addition of an Audiocom Superclock II, a bybee filter and an upgraded digital output stage.

I'm now turning my attention to the dac. I'm having some the caps etc replaced but am wondering if a new clock (perhaps the Superclock III or LC Audio X03) would make a significant difference to the dac? In general, is it best to have the transport or dac or both re-clocked, bearing in mind that the clocks in the transport and dac are at different frequencies?

If a new clock for the dac is worth it, which one should I go for?

Thanks.
