Hello again: First of all, thanks to all of you who responded. Youve given me good advice and I appreciate it. My thank you is tardy because we were without internet service for two days. We live in a rural area and I have limited ISP options. I envy friends that have cable, DSL, etc.
To those suggesting I sell my Sony CD player thats not going to happen. I use it regularly to listen to borrowed discs from the library. I havent tabulated your votes but there clearly isnt a landslide of opinions one way or another on my original question. Right now I find myself leaning toward adding a DAC rather than a Touch. Although I still am considering the Dac Magic from Cambridge, I am also going to research the Music Fidelity M1. This is a DAC that Phil Leigh (whose postings have impressed me) is apparently purchasing. It is a little more expensive than the Dac Magic, but may be worth the additional outlay. Also, there is a new DAC being introduced by Emotiva (XDA-1) that may be worth considering. Earwax9, Im not clear on your recommendation regarding WAV vs. FLAC. I, too, am a user of dBpoweramp (great program!). I used it to rip to FLAC/uncompressed. Im pretty sure FLAC has a broad base of support as an excellent format for high quality digital recordings. Care to elaborate? Thanks again, Dave -- MBlue72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MBlue72's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13779 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82067
