This seems reasonable to me - I've always found/felt the Lavry to be quite transport-insensitive...OTH it always sounds like the Lavry. Remember there's no such thing as a (truly) "neutral" DAC - they all have some kind of sonic signature. Some dacs are more transport sensitive and these I would expect to be improved by the Touch compared to the SB3 - based on my own experiences and also the findings of others such as Pat at ART Audio and John Swenson. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
