No, actually I have a Transporter connected to my Classe amp, to Sonus Faber speakers with a REL subwoofer. But, I do have a Touch, and its connected to some self powered speakers and it sounds great. Not as good as my $10,000+ system, but very good. Some folks with serious audio engineering chops say that the Touch is "comperable" in sound quality to the Transporter. I haven't tried that setup, but I can say that the Touch sounds way better than you'd expect a $300 device to sound, when connected to some real speakers. > I use pre/power amp for my 2 channel music and I am more concerned how > analogue will sound via the Touch, hence I am looking for users with > this sort of set up.

I bet you will like it. If you have a much better than average Receiver/Amp you can connect the digital out directly, but for most consumer grade amps, their internal DACs are not impressive, and the Touch's analog output may beat it. I do know that I preferred the sound of my Transporter to that of my Benchmark DAC-1, which sells for about $1000 by itself. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
