Why not getting a Northstar dac, or similar, used, rather than upgrading
a cheap dac ?
Apgrade only output stage, and power supply.
The vdac is a hiend product, not look at the price.
To buy something like that should be paid also on the use x40.

THD+N is pretty useless as a sole metric, that is true. Especially with
loudspeakers where the on/off-axis FR measurements are more important.
But... when you are splitting hairs over 0.005 THD+N Vs. 0.0001 THD+N,
it is almost guaranteed that there is little

You're comparing 2 different things. You can not compare the distortion

Distortion then is not the only parameter on which you decide the

So does this mean that a Touch, wired to an external Hard Drive (how
noisy are the stand alone ones) would remove the need for a NAS ?
Presume not if more than one Touch is used (e.g. in another room).
Also to get files on and off the hard drive would probably mean hooking
up a laptop every time.

Other players can access your music library eld on the Touch-attached
drive.
You can share the files in a Touch-attached drive to your network (via
Samba)
Cool, huh?

you can simulate the Squeezebox even the TOUCH by using the free

Can you give me the exact link please?

and follow instructions from there.
According to the Beta Testers for the TOUCH:
the audio out is very good, an improved DAC is used, better than
previous versions apart from the much more expensive (Troppo Caro)
the link you give me leads to this page,
Download Squeezebox Server
but I did not find any beta testers for the touch

The Touch Beta testers generally agree with C3P0's statements above.

There are several items to download:
squeezecentre: acts like iTunes but doesn't rip CDs
squeezeplay; simulates Touch screen visually bit also allows you to
hear the music rather than just control it; ie
squeezecentre controls Audio to squeezebox
squeezeplay--- plays audio on pc
so look

Moreover, as it sounds different from PCM, you can use FLAC compression
