I have an external DAC you can borrow if you'd like to try something
'different' before buying.
It's nothing special. a Zhaolu iirc, that had all the component
upgrades. Something to play with though, if you're willing to pay for
shipping.
Oncwe you have the backup situation sorted, go for the Touch - the best
quality sound out of SB ever - to date

I think most people would say that title goes to the Transporter, but
for sound quality per dollar (or euro or pound or peso) the Touch is it.

agree!
edit: but then again, my Touch plus Benchmark DAC cost more than my
Transporter
Thanks all for your replies.
You're all completely right... the next thing I need is another external
hard drive to back things up. That has been in the back of my head and I
should get it done.
And I understand the speaker thing as well... though I'm currently still
enjoying what I'm hearing

sound better than a Touch.
I don't have any personal experience of DacMagic, but here is a post
from someone that have:
Hey all
I'm new here... first post. I have a question but first a bit of
history. I'm a lifelong music lover but have never managed to invest
much time or money into a great stereo... spent too much time travelling
around spending my money on other things I guess. Nowadays I have a
young family

You should !

It seems that with audio, price increase exponentially for diminishing

I figure I have a few options, and am wondering what would give me the
biggest boost in sound (on the living room system)
1. I could upgrade to a Squeezebox Touch.
2. I could keep the SB3 and add a cheap DAC, perhaps a used Cambridge
Audio DAC magic
3. I could upgrade my
