I can drive headphones and often do but some photos and a description of the rest of my system (which is how I usually listen) can be found in this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77125 RGibran;537291 Wrote: > Jazzfan, you have a Transporter in the other room.

Yes I've seen that thread but it's not exactly on this topic and I wanted a more focused thread. Regarding A-B'ing the Touch and Transporter, just how far such I go, e.g. simply the Touch's analog outputs versus the Transporter's analog outputs or should I also include several of the other possible combinations such as Touch digital out --> Transporter's DAC --> Transporter analog outputs and/or Touch digital out --> Headroom DAC --> Headroom analog outputs iPhone;537316 Wrote: > Starting with a disclaimer: My Touch is a Beta Unit. > > I still favor the Transporter for analog and digital output.

All well and good but one if one doesn't have and is not planning on buying an external DAC or a Home Theater Receiver/Processor with a DAC and just using a CD player or the computer's analog outputs would the Touch be a good starting point for getting into the world of streaming audio (I mean what exactly should we call this method of listening to computer based digital audio)? For the record, my answer is yes, definitely. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77576 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
