Why? At present I use the coaxial S/PDIF output of the SB Touch into my external DAC. I really don't care how the USB sounds since there is not a USB input available on the stock SB Touch. Add to that the fact that my desktop computer has an optical digital output, which I use instead of the USB output. So I guess that makes me USB free :) By the way diego if you read through some of my posts on some other threads on this forum you will see that I've long asserted that the high end audio industry is deathly afraid that the lowly $300 SB Touch coupled with a quality external DAC leaves little room for improvement, hence the focus on expensive asynchronous USB devices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95031 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
