You don't have that much of a choice, if you want to buy a new player . It is the Touch .
Neither SB3 or duet (receiver+controller) is manufactured anymore may still exist on some sites. Touch is also showing up at discount prices here and there, so you can grab one for the same kind of money as an SB3 was back in the day. Or buy used then another SB3 would be the first choice, reciever is hampered by not having any UI on the player at all, so setup and maintenance would be unnecessary complicated and the controller is needed for setup officially. But I'll go with Touch anyway , it supports more formats natively on the player including 24/96 and AAC ,many radio stations are shifting to AAC streaming and native spotify support . And any future app or format will not be developed for the old kind of player. It also sounds better . The SB2/3/reciever tech is a bit old nowadays. I do think the SB3 is more stylish and a design statement so I'll keep mine in the closet -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
