 320 kbps and sounds as good as my ripped CDs in lossless.

You hear no difference between high bitrate Mp3 and lossless, yet you
bother with software tweaks?

 My question is; Does the Touch play the mp3 files directly or is there a
 conversion taking place on the touch?

The Touch plays Mp3 natively. When LMS/Squeezebox does do some type of
transcoding, it's always done by the server.

It plays them directly. No conversion. I like MOG too and use it.  but I
have thousands of CDs that are not available in MOG.

 .

It doesn't matter how high the bitrate is if it is a poorer quality
recording to begin with. MOG has some very high quality recordings.

I have lossless recordings that were made in the 1970's that are so bad
that they are not listenable on my High Resolution Horn and SET amp
System.

I never had 'audiophile stripes', and I don't listen to 'Specs', I
listen to music.  I have plenty of Crap Lossless recordings that are far
worse than the recordings from MOG's MP3.

You need to spend a little time researching on how your recordings were
made in the first place, not at how many bits that were stored and
streamed to your stereo. You will find that it most cases it is
irrelevant.

Why would anyone need to do that? They either sound good or they don't.
