I've tried several HAT-Dacs and the answer is 'no' the best or even a very good stand alone dac still sounds better to my ears at least.
I also have a iFi power and ended up selling it because I could not hear a difference between the Jameco and the iFi...although the iFi has superior specs.
FWIW, Archimago's CRAAP settings makes a nice improvement

Either way, its fun to play around and try different things....its a hobby after all...
