I'm in the don't bother camp (the DAC in the Touch is quite good
actually). I use an older Benchmark I DAC connected to one of my Touch
players, but only because I already had it, and I like the ability to
feed my amplifier with balanced analog from the Benchmark (rather than
unbalanced analog output from the Touch). Regarding MQA, I've read
conflicting posts about whether the Touch can pass MQA files to an
attached DAC that can then do the MQA unfolding. If you care about MQA
and want a different DAC, you should at least purchase an MQA capable
DAC.
