How do I get the most out of the Squeezebox Touch

I'm streaming music from the PC in my office to the audio system in my living room via the SBT. It sounds good but I'd like to improve it. I'm aware that I can run the SBT output through a better DAC but I'm thinking that will cost several times the price of the SBT in order to hear an improvement. Is there anything that I can do on the PC end prior to the signal leaving the PC. I'm aware of different players like Foobar, JRiver, etc. and enhancements to iTunes such as Pure Music but will any of these even matter since the files don't "play" through those interfaces.

Thanks

Here's my SB Touch set-up

1. Boulder Power Supply.
2. VH Audio AirSine to Boulder power supply.
4. Power supply plugged into Hydra 6
5. Boulder upgraded umbilical cord 'Nitro"
6. VH Audio Pulsar Ag SPDIF with WBT NextGens.
7. Stello DA100 Signature DAC
8. Dynobot's software mods to SB Touch

Next step is to send the SB Touch in for the Boulder Digital only mod.

This arrangement has unlocked my digital music collection formerly trapped on a laptop in my home office that dedicated to music only. This laptop also serves as the basis for my headphone rig in my office - of course, SB Touch and headphone rig are never "on" at the same time.
