1) an external DAC does improve the sound quality a lot.
2) my DAC isn't one of the commonly recommended DACs here on AA as it doesn't do hi-res. You can look at my system profile if you're interested.

3) The linear power supply I built to replace the stock wallwart switcher was probably as big an improvement as the external DAC.
4) The S/PDIF cable makes a big difference too.
5) A shielded power cord made a big difference on my DAC.
6) The ripping software is a big factor in SQ.
