Do I need an external DAC to play my music files?

I currently own an Integra DHC-80.1 and an Oppo BDP-95. I usually plug my usb stick into the Integra to listen to my files. Am I getting the most out of my system in doing so (not the most techy person)? I read somewhere that even if it is reading at 44.1kHz it is not the best. What would solve this?

Both DACs (integra and oppo) feature 192/32 bit...I was just curious if I was missing out by using either of these to play my music files.

When I play my music files on the Integra, the song is displayed at whatever the bit rate (192/256/320,etc) and then 44.1kHz. And I've read that there are DACs that take those files and boosts them from 44.1 to 192. So what is out there that does this (relatively cheap) and/or is this even worth the trouble?
