Thanks a lot for your advice! For the Touch, I already bought a sbooster that greatly improved the sound (or at least that's what I thought since after that upgrade, the SBT analog outperformed the digital through V-DAC... until I disconnected two other low cost SMPS plugged into the same outlet). After this bad experience with SMPS, I decided to buy a linear PSU from Velleman (HQ Power PS2122LE with selectable output from 3V to 12V for 25 + delivery) to replace the SMPS of the V-DAC. Since then, analog and digital outputs are on par... but I remain suspicious about low cost SMPS, at least for interferences that it may cause on neighbour devices. Still, after spending about 500 on DAC & PSUs, I did not leverage the acquisition of the V-DAC. Therefore, I keep looking at your advice to renew my speakers. What speakers would you recommend under 1 k/k$ for coupling with SBT -> V-DAC - > NAD C315? -- evdplancke ------------------------------------------------------------------------ evdplancke's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81454
