I've downloaded some albums from HDTracks, in both redbook and 24/96 formats. After volume matching them, the 24/96 tracks (even when downsampled to 24/48) are audibly and musically superior. No doubt in -my- mind! Granted, I do have a -very- revealing setup. If the Touch digital end proves as capable as the Squeezebox 2/3, I'll be a very happy camper. If, however, they have skimped on components/design to go after the "mid-fi" consumer market, I, for one, will be -extremely- disappointed, and would likely jump ship for a higher-end manufacturer. -- sleepysurf main system: sb2 (with elpac linear psu) > benchmark dac-1 > modwright swl 9.0se > belles 350a reference > ml summits. audience au24e and blue jeans cables. secondary systems: sb3 in master br (russound r235ls amp driving in-ceiling speaker) and game room (powered swan s200a speakers), with boom in home office. member of 'the tampa bay listening society' (http://www.thetbls.com/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sleepysurf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64706 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
