Difficult and expensive. OPA-Moon is 25 bucks, plus base shipping price of another 17 bucks. If you got three of those that's already approaching half the value of the sound card! Whether it is worth that or not is something you have to decide yourself, personally I would have to hear a lot of good impressions going from a LME49720NA to some discrete units.
FWIW I used to have an OPA-Earth in a Zero DAC and it improved the sound considerably.
