I have a Topping E30 DAC (£103) and it made a big difference to my SB3 but of course the DAC in that is not as good as the Touch. I use an external high-end DAC (Audio Synthesis DAX Decade, now 22 years old but still exquisite) with my Transporter to good effect. I am very tempted by the Chord Qutest DAC as there is credible and quantifiable technology in it to separate it from other DAC chips but it does cost £1,200. It should be your starting point when looking at an external DAC for your Touch as anything less is probably going to disappoint. The Chord Dave is probably the ultimate if you have very good amplification and speakers: https://www.13thnote.net/2019/05/29/chord-electronics-dave/
