Your blanket statement as to what people will and won't appreciate does contain a hint of presumptive arrogance.
I've had a Touch since they came out 18 months ago and sold my Lavry DAC after several weeks of side-by-side, synced and level-matched comparison. I found I couldn't reliably tell the difference without checking the position of the input selector switch. Perhaps that's due to my tin ear, mediocre system or whatever other inferiority you need to assign, but I'm listening to the Tokyo String Quartet play Beethoven's Op. 95 at this moment with perfect satisfaction.
Others are certainly free to purchase whatever devices they need to make their system work for them, but I think the primary point is that new users should give things a try before deciding a priori that an extra $500, $1,000 or more must be spent because some guy on the internet told them so.
