Because it's got nothing to do with a squeezebox touch, per se, i would
agree with you.

I guess this should go in the "audiophile" section.

No, i got the Mytek dsd 192 for a good price. They may still have a few
in the Mytek online shop.

But the difference is there. I tried the Hugo out and it's pretty lovely
sounding. Fortunately it does sound like a genuine improvement over the
SBT own analogue output. I say "fortunately" because it's rather
expensive.

I didn't keep it, however, as i felt it lacked bass solidity compared to
some other choices on the market. I bought a Mytek instead which is a
good blend of the two, imho.

The SBT sounds a little disappointing by comparison, though return on
investment is very small in this market..

[SlimDevices: Touch] Chord DAC(mojo or maybe hugo) + SBT

2017-03-19 Thread toolapcblack

Hi long time user of the wonderful sbt here: i am toying with the idea
of trying to improve my setup maybe with a streamer(Cambridge 851N)but
as i love the sbt user interface i am so much more tempted to get a good
chord DAC, i have used the sbt before through micromega and nuforce DAC
combinations but did not feel they improved things. 

Has anyone gone down the Chord path and had any good improved results?

thanks 
j
