Wasting money using Esoteric DV50s as Transport?

I have a fully modded TheaterMaster Classic signature, I love the sound of this DAC and need a front end both Video and CD .This seems like a good solution but does all that goodness everyone talks about get lost at the digital out?I have a DVDO VP50 so video weakness of the DV50s isnot so much of a problem but I don't want to spend extra money if the audio everyone loves is lost. I look forward to your collective wisdom.
