Soundcheck thanks for the education and patience with us :-) I can pretty much say that a 2000+ DAC would still respond to changes in transport - as long as it is connected via SPDIF. I would never go back to transports. Transports make a difference but I dont think they are worth the money the audiophile companies ask for them. With your mods, I can guess that the Touch sounds like a $1000 transport or so or maybe even higher priced (I am using a linear power supply with it). I wish Logitech open sources the firmware. That is the best way to tweak the platform. -- SoftwireEngineer Main Wellborne Labs Power Supply -> SBT -> Zu Ash Coax -> TACT Digital Integrated Amp-> Zu Wax Speaker Cables -> Silverline Sonatina.
