I have to admit with some chagrin that, this morning, when I went back and looked at my notes, I found that I had not listened to the Touch default prio settings with the smaller buffer. I went back and listened again at 20000 and found it not as satisfying as the GuidoF/4000. So, I set the buffer to 4000 with the Touch default prio settings and, my goodness, I was floored. My system has not lacked for mid-range and bass capability, but it's been the trebles that I've been finding underdone to one degree or another--which has the effect of making the music flat-sounding. I've been listening for the better part of the day and am thoroughly delighted....everything rendered with crystal-clarity and nothing over or underdone. I will probably give it a try with the 3200 buffer to see if it could possibly get any better, but call me a (somewhat embarrassed) convert, now. -- rgro Rg System information ------------------------ Main: PS Audio Quintet > Vortexbox > Touch (wired) via optical > Rega DAC > LFD LE IV Signature amp > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305 sub.
