I've read several reviews of the Touch from different countries. What's amazing (annoying) is that many of the reviewers criticized the Touch without understanding what it is.
One criticized it for not having video playback capabilities, as if for $300 and having a touch screen, that was a requirement. In short, he didn't get that it was simply a high quality audio playback device. Several other reviewers criticized it as not offering much over SB3 and Duet, but didn't understand that the Touch has (a) internal SBS, no PC required; (B)native hi-res playback; (c)better quality digital and analogue outs than the previous units. Just goes to show you how careful many reviews are (not!). -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF X-150 amp, MF V DAC3, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Mirage MS-12 sub; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source. SB Boom in second room. Arcam CD82 which I don't use anymore, even though it's a very good player. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ firedog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11550 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81131 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
