Keep in mind that the Rega DAC's direct USB input implementation only supports 44.1/48 khz rates. If you want to fully use Triode's USB implemenation on the Touch, you'll need a USB/SPDIF converter to allow up to 24/96 via optical or up to 192 via coax into the Rega. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95258
