To DAC or not to DAC ?

Wondering if adding a $500 to $700 DAC to my system will make a a significant difference over using the internal DAC in my bluesound vault 2 ?

my system :

SCHIIT FREYA +

KRELL MONO BLOCKS FPB 350 mc

WILSON AUDIO SOPHIAS

THX FOR YOUR HELP

A two box solutions allow greater flexibility to upgrade one aspect... save up for next upgrade... etc. you might save a few dollars with a single box solution... but long-term is unlikely to be as cost effective unless this is your only upgrade.

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO FIND OUT INFO ON PRODUCTS AND DIRECTIONS TO PROCEED WITH ! I THINK I'M LEANING MORE TO UPGRADING MY PRE AMP AND GO FROM THERE. ONCE THATS DONE, NOT SURE IF SHOULD GO WITH A STREAMER DAC COMBO THAT IS IN LINE WITH THE REST OF MY SYSTEM OR A SEPERATE DAC AND STAY WITH THE VAULT. HMMMMMM ? THANK YOU ALL !!!
