SB Touches to take a clock signal from his M-DAC and so lock to it.

I tried a tube buffer in my system, and it made mp3s sound much better -
more like music that hasn't been compressed. You can get a decent tube
buffer for $150-$200. I think if you listen to mp3's that would be a
more cost effective use of your money.

A few years ago I replaced the capacitors on an old pair of JBL L26s. It
was a noticeable difference in the sound. The recap opened up the sound,
most noticeably in the high end, and improved the spaciousness in the
'sound stage'. Total cost was under $20.

I find the treble still too exaggerated, but not even close to
ear-bleeding, perhaps tending toward scratchy sometimes, tolerable
but I've heard better from the SBT. Everything else is pretty decent. I
am still bowled over by how changing the buffer size changes the bass so
much (here anyway), or
