Just so you know, I run my Touch wired and always have done. Not for any audio reasons, just for reliability. Having said that, I've personally yet to hear any difference between ethernet or wi-fi on an SB3 or Touch. What's this "error correction inside the Touch" you refer to? As for the volume control mod... if you hear any difference at all, it means that your volume was not on max (100) before. I've studied the code very carefully - including the debug test mentioned by Blue Gaspode - and there is no way that the "mod" changes anything that can be audible... UNLESS your volume was not on max before, in which case you will indeed hear a big "improvement"! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
