Duet to Touch for next upgrade?

Current 2 channel system:
Marantz sr6005
Bryston 2bst
Lite Audio dac 60 upgraded
Gallo 3.1
Squeezebox duet
Also used for HT with additional equipt.
Have been seriously considering upgrading to a seperate preamp but have now turned my thinking to getting a sb touch. The thought is that I should start with the best source and work up from there.
Reading here and elsewhere seems to indicate that the touch is much better than the duet in all areas and that with the Soundcheck toolbox tweaks it is even better. Originally I had thought it was just the dac in the touch but now I seem to be seeing that there is much more to it.
Is the touch the right first step for the biggest bang for buck?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks. Your response seems to be the consensus based on the responses from other sites.

Since I will probably continue to use the dac60 if I get a new pre will there be any real benefit? I use the marantz in direct mode for stereo so I guess the main influence it has is with the volume pot. How much effect does that have?
Thanks again,
Steve
