So to be clear my question is:

Will the difference in performance be bigger when using an amp with my Touch than when I would use it with a better source?

Damn it's hard to explain it clearly for me, as English ain't my first language, sorry.
Actually, it's a decent source as it has a Line Out, just like all the other iPods. And since it's of the new variants, it's SQ is supposedly better than previous generations.

As far as source, if your Touch is you primary source right now, in my opinion it's not worth the money to get another DAP.

Can't wait to see the price of this beast. I hope the intro price is ~$300...I'de love to be able to snag one of these up...although, I dunno, seeing as how the only reason I would need a DAC would be at home...and I'm getting a dedicated DAC for the home rig....awe crapo...
