If you already own the Cambridge DACMagic, which I would gather from your post that you do, I would say go with the Touch and say yourself a good deal of money. In addition once you have the Touch up and running I would try comparing the Touch digital output into the DACMagic versus the Touch without the Cambridge, i.e. the Touch's analog outputs, you might then even decide to sell the Cambridge, unless of course you are making use of the Cambridge's balanced outputs. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83162 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
