Currently using the MF V90, Would I get significant improvement if I move to the SMSL SU-8?

Current Setup
Laptop -> MF V90 -> Rotel 1090 Power amp -> Acarian Alon IV loudspeakers. There is no pre-amp in the chain, Volume is controlled using the laptop.

Given the V90 produces no noise or distortion higher in level than -105dB and has excellent linearity and low jitter, I find it impossible to imagine any upgrade could result in an audible improvement.

Unless you want to upgrade to make use of balanced outputs which imo definitely has a purpose, I wouldn't say it's worth it.
