do these things work as DACs?  and if so do they improve sound quality of MP3s played through a traditional separates system?  or am i better off getting a beresford or similar dedicated DAC?

AE have an inbuilt DAC yes, and although using it's analogue output fed directly to an amp is ok, using it's digital out(by-passing it's internal DAC) fed to a dedicated DAC will sound much much better!!
