There are big improvements to be had by installing a master clock with higher short term accuracy than the DCS clock. Certainly clock cables also worth experimenting with. I've had good results with the Vertex range although they are not well known in the USA. Apart from those, my cables of choice are Siltech with MIT for power to digital components. But do improve the clock before the cables: there's more to be gained with doing that.
