DAC question

I am a newbie to audio and have recently acquired the following pieces of equipment: Arcam A28 integtated amp, Arcam CD17 cd player, and Paradigm Studio 20 speakers. Overall, I am quite happy with this first system. However, I was wondering if adding a dac would be of any benefit or improve my sound quality? I was considering the Schiit Bifrost. Any comments or other equipment suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Two units can use identical chips and yet sound very different.The quality and implenmentation of the analog stage and the power supply have significant influence(likely more). This is what you`re paying for with better sounding units,not merely the particular chip.
