At what level of Streamer and Dac does a DDC add no sonic benefit?

Seeing a number of new DDC’s coming to market, which are seeing good reviews, but mostly on use with entry level Streamers and DAC’s. Will a DDC add benefit to a Innuos Zen Mk3 running with a Denafrips T2 12. I realize a DDC offers different connection options besides USB only from the Innuos, but will there be sonic improvements? Appreciate any insights. Many thanks.

I use Innuos ZENith mk3 USB into U18 DDC and I2s to Audio mirror Tubadour V dac. The difference vs USB direct to dac is not subtle. Unbelievable indeed.USB is extremely muffled in comparison. The veil being lifted with I2s completely applies in this case.
