I currently have a rocketfish Bluetooth transponder connected to my Realistic SA-2080 receiver powering some Sansui SP-2500’s. I’m wondering if buying a DAC is going to improve audio quality substantially.

Other than car duty bluetooth kinda sux
It could, but the real limiting factor would be the Bluetooth codec being used. For example, I have an iPhone which only uses the AAC codec. AAC’s maximum quality is approximately 16/44.1 (but not quite) so a DAC isn’t going to help much with that.
If you have other digital sources it could be worth trying out
Bluetooth will be the bottleneck. Adding a DAC may smooth it out a bit but it can’t add anything.
Get a DAC that can be used as a network streamer and ditch BT.
Get a wii mini so you are not degrading the signal via Bluetooth. The streamer will pull the file down directly via wifi. You will need a service such as spotify, tidal, qobuz but it’s the best way to go
Does it support pandora ? Kind of a pandora guy
If you don’t mind plugging in the Schitt Modi would be an upgrade. I not a fan often the Topping E30, but others like it
If you want to go Bluetooth into the DAC IFI Zen blue is pretty good
A device that does direct streaming would be a better upgrade. Wiim is the go to right now but pretty much anything will be better than Bluetooth.
