    On the otherhand, my ATC SCM11s I have for sale are definitely just what you need. All you have to do then is change the amp, worry about the cabling and source and enjoy the hamster-like feeling of being back on the treadmill!

    Your choice!

    Now, my question is, as the title of the post implies, ..would I be wasting my time and indeed money by trying to make this very modest, but decent sounding little system, better by adding a small DAC or whatever, for instance?

    Please feel free to suggest what would make a difference without swapping boxes.

    Fire away!
    What are you powering the Touch with?

    Bog standard PSU Chris, I’m thinking the rest of the stuff wouldn’t ‘recognise/appreciate ‘ a better PSU?

    Topping D30 DAC, rated quite highly by a few people, not much money to try, if you don't find an improvement in your system then sell it on. Look on eBay.

    You might be surprised Craig.
    A better (quieter) PSU would be of benefit.

    A cheap DAC would add a lot of functionality at little cost. So more pleasure for peanuts. Then speakers, sources, amps, crystal balls and moo-shook mugwumps, then cables. All IMHO If messing with cables floats your boat, enjoy. That's the name of the game after all, it ain't serious.
