The biggest difference between the Touch and the Transporter (apart from the size, look and the cost ) is the built in DAC on the transporter (which is rated quite highly by several reviewers) and the multitude of input and output connections on the transporter -- Analogue / digital spdf / coax / BNC -- you can actually input another device into the transporter and use it as a DAC. A Modwright modified transporter adds a tubed analogue output stage to the transporter -- and results in a very high end great sounding device ---- you could always add a comparable DAC to the Touch and get the same sounding results ------ but the Transporter has a cool look that integrates well with the rest of your audio gear Comparing the sound of the Touch to the Transporter depends entirely on what DAC you are running the Touch into ------ they are both limited to 24/96 digital files -- but I believe there are plug-ins for the Touch that will allow (with a proper DAC) higher bit rate files to play ------ I don't think there are any work-arounds to allow 192 khz files to play on the Transporter ( if someone knows this is possible -- p-lease respond - as I'd like to get that working ! ) thanks Bart ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bartman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63250 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101924 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
