It appears that you are only using the Airport Express to stream content from Spotify, in other words, to stream Internet "radio", which is basically what Spotify is. Streaming Spotify is not really an "audiophile" application and I would say that you are correct in that there is no advantage to using the Touch versus the Airport Express when one is only listening to Spotify. However all my other reasons would still apply if one were going to use the Airport Express to stream one's own digital audio files. By the way, I'm not aware of any DACs that support FLAC - what they is PCM, which is what the Airport Express' or the Touch's digital output provides. Now this takes care of the garden equipment so what do you use to control the Linn DS and are you also only using the Linn DS to liten to Spotify because that would really be a bit of overkill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72018 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
