DS Players Sound through S/PDIF output


I would like to ask if there is any hearable difference in performance of different DS players (Majik DS, Sonos, Soolos etc) via Digital output.
I want to go definitely to HD playback, and I have external DAC, which I am absolutely satisfied with (Theta Gen VIII).
I am tending towards combination of Sonos (as Internet radio Tuner) + Majik DS as source for NAS.

So, Majik DS standing in my roomm. Few hours of listening to the same material - a/b comparison with sonos zp90, both running on S/PDIF RCA connectors.
I never believed in such a difference. Soundstage is clearly sharper, background really black. Bass more controlled.

2.000 Eur difference is worth it - if your stand-alone DAC is better than Akkurate DS.
Still keeping Sonos as Internet radio+Rhapsody, for seaching for new music.
