Its very likely that you actually can't do that , depends on how the Denon actually works . I tried to read the manual online could not find suficient information . Some few AV amps has something called analog passthru or similar that is for 2 ch stereo you can bypass all digital stuff and via analog volume controll drive 2ch directly , it was common in the late 90's in "high end" av amps , but i wonder if anyone does that anymoore . But even then if you wanted to use the subwoofer or any digital effect like 5ch stereo or whatnot it could not do that . I think most modern AV amps does not have this as it would not make sense . But my 0.02$ can you be sure that the Denon DAC is the limiting factor in your stereo ? my experience with AV recievers in the past has been that its the power amps that are the weak spot , the digital and line level stuff has usually been ok. So if it has line level outputs I rather by better power amps depending on what kind of speaker you are driving . The Denon DAC migth actually be better or equal to the Touch DAC and who knows how any external DAC would sound . my best bet is that under controlled conditions no one can really hear any difference .
