I found I didn't need it though. I was using a North Star transport that could upsample the signal to 24/96 which the M24 could read. Other transports I tried with the M24 had varying results. Personally I would try to get a good transport that matches up well with the M24 and avoid the extra component in the chain and extra set of cables.

However you also need to use some pretty good digital interconects with the DIP. I have found that the Stereovox interconnect works well with the DIP. The DIP does give better sound if you use vibration control products (I use mapleshade stuff) and it makes a small improvement over just placing the DIP on a hard surface.Hope this helps.
