Depends how you define significantly !

For the average listener probably not.


, or would it be a complete waste of money?

As long as it contains a genuinely better DAC it could hardly be called a waste
of money.


I'm running Adcom GTP 450 as a pre-amp, Adcom GFA 5500 as a power amp, into
Klipsch KLH 20 speakers.

That won't influence the difference if any.
