To DAC or not to DAC ?

Wondering if adding a $500 to $700 DAC to my system will make a a significant difference over using the internal DAC in my bluesound vault 2 ?

my system :

SCHIIT FREYA +

KRELL MONO BLOCKS FPB 350 mc

WILSON AUDIO SOPHIAS

THX FOR YOUR HELP

Upgrade the DAC with a built in Streamer - I upgraded from the Node 2i to Moon 280D and it was a big deal. 2. Upgrade the preamp to a preamp with a built in DAC. I used the internal DAC on my McIntosh C2600 when I had my Node 2i after comparing the two 3. You can get a separate DAC...I've not pursued this path but many folks have.
