I have an SB Touch and ran it through a Quad Elite CDP, sold the CDP and used a Quad USB DAC (€450ish) instead. I had the opportunity to borrow a SoTM streamer (€500ish) and paired it with the Quad DAC. Listened and thought there was an improvement. Yesterday I decided to compare this setup to my SBT with its internal DAC. Adjusted the volume levels and synced them. I hear no difference in casual listening. :) I don't have golden ears but heard a difference when I recapped my power amp. So a ~1000 euro setup isn't any remarkable improvement on my 10 yo SBT. Remaining test is listening fatigue...
