Whilst most modern sources should deal with jitter in the S/PDIF stream, I don't know if all do. So it might be that reducing jitter will help the Esoteric.
There might be gains in reduction of noise (getting rid of the Touch's SMPS, or noise transmitted over coax for example). I perceived an improvement when I placed the SBT _only_ behind a mains filter (actually I use two phases of filter, a Tacima CS929 and a Marmitek FM10U). I believe it's important that the mains filtering sits between the transport using the SMPS and the DAC using a linear supply. Check it, add to it! http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/richpub/listmania/byauthor/A3H57URKQB8AQO/ref=cm_pdp_content_listmania/203-7606506-5721503.
