Hey there, is this IT...? No other testimonials? Is it the last word that the Touch is just "perfect" at the s/pdif output, end of the story?
Come one, Girls and Boys, this can't be the end of the story :) ! Let me resume: Even the well established and beyound doubt neutral german hifi-review-magazine "Stereo" noted, that different DACs they connected to the Touch did not deliver the same sound level, than other digital sources they have compared (in particular: The SACD-Player/DAC 820S of Lindemann performed in direct comparison far better with the SACDs than with the same tracks with the same resolution over the Touch's s/pdif). Even though, they confirmed, that the s/pdif - output was "bit perfect" when set to 100% volume. Which did not change the final verdict. The conclusion was clearly, that the s/pdif output did NOT sound perfectly. Also, there are lots of testimonials of people who had their Touch hardware modified. However, we all know, how to read those statements. Everybody has a tendency to justify her/his investment. And secondly, those people usually do not have any stock Touch left to compare with, when the Touch comes back from modding. However: There is much reason to trust the girls and guys from "Stereo". Which means: Whatever the reason is (maybe yet unknown), there IS room for improvement. So here I am back with THE question. The ball is back with you: Kick it! WHO has the secret for getting just the best sounding s/pdif output out of a squeezebox-protocol based streaming system? Hope to read from you! Cheers!
