You only need EDO if you want to play files above 24/96; it has no
effect on "sound quality". The DAC in the Touch has held up
surprisingly well, but there's no harm in trying a newer external DAC.
I'd look at models from Topping to start. They range from $100-$850 US.

Twelve years of progress with DAC chips to start with. If you want to
get the ultimate from a Touch you need to load the EDO (Enhanced Digital
Output) app to enable 192Khz output via USB. The Touch is 24/96

I am thinking to upgrade my streaming audio. I concidered to replace my
sb touch with a bluesound node 2i.

dac (with a sbooster). I really am a dac noob. Can you help me?
