I've yet to hear one that sounds good enough for bypassing the DAC to make any difference.

Then you do not care enough.

The perform of a DAC is directly related to the stability of the reference signals. Things like EMI and quick changes in load can affect these supplies. Also, beyond the DAC, you have to consider the filtering and driving circuit. Unfiltered noise gets amplified to the port and then amplified again by an external source. The list goes on.
