partyman, loading the Daz hi-res textures not only attaches an actual .jpg texture file to V4, it deploys a tree of shader nodes on all elements of V4. In effect you are getting from Daz what you'd get from face-off's product. As mentioned above, Paul (face_off) may have designed that system for Daz.

So yes, let's all be happy with V4 (and the upcoming M4 I am sure) because they are great right out of the box.

Now, to get more of an"AO" effect (like for shadows between fingers or toes), you'd have to turn on AO on one of the lights, or go into the Material room (there is a poser wacro for it or learn to implement it by had from Paul or BB) or get face_off's Occlusion Master.
