I added a Schitt BiFrost (about $500USD at the time) to a modest system in my cabin that is a touch->arcam 60wpc integrated->Klipsch KG1.5 bookshelves. I ran the analog from the touch to one set of inputs, and digital from the touch to the Schitt via coax, then analog to another input on the amp, thereby being able to A/B real time.
The touch DAC isn't bad but the difference is significant. Best way for me to describe it is the music "came to life". I then compared the schitt to audio through an Oppo BDP-105D on my home system (excellent D/A, in it's time the 105 D/A upgrade was about $600 over the 103.) and I could not tell a significant difference The advice to audition one if you can is good, and A/B to the transporter.
