I don't think it is power related. My guess would be that "full volume" either isn't exactly the same, or the Touch does something different, I've never had one so I don't know how they work or sound. I guess one way to test their respective output would be to record the output from the DAC or feed it into an oscillioscope. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ v2k's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71576 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114895 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
