No but a $175 device used to "solve" a "problem" with a $5,000 USB DAC is all part of the same ecosystem, an ecosystem where the price to performance ratio has no meaning. Want to isolate a $5000 DAC from the evils of USB? By a SB Touch, stream it digital audio via wi-fi and connect it to the DAC via a coax digital cable. One problem solved but another more important problem is introduced, namely the problem of how to sell another "solution" when there are no "problems" to be found. As I said earlier, weren't all those asynchronous USB DACs supposed to "fix" all the nasty problems with USB? The very definition of a circle jerk.
