For example, the one in the touch.  Or if you want one with a standard
digital input and a lower noise floor, take the Benchmark DAC1.

Yes, I believe that's the case.  I'm always subject to changing my
opinion given evidence, however.

Well, first I'd like to be certain that it really does.  That is, I'd
like to see someone pick it out in a blind, level matched test while
playing music (rather than test tones or silence turned up loud enough
to hear the noise floor).  

If that turns out to be possible (which I'm skeptical of), the next
stage would be to figure out what's wrong with one of them :).
