NO. It is a result of a real life test in an adequate test environment. Phil Leigh;540434 Wrote: > " > > > The Touch is a completely different design to the Duet.

It has a running Linux incl. Alsa sound layer as base on it ( I know how much trouble this stuff can cause. The Logitech guys are using a pretty old Kernel/Alsa for the Touch btw. -- which might be OK for their purposes.. The new 2.6.33-rt and Alsa 1.0.22b are ways more advanced then the used 2.6.26-rt and Alsa 1.0.16). One thing is obvious to me, the designers are aware of certain challenges associated to realtime audio streaming from a PC - that's why they have chosen a rt-kernel. The monitor must be causing extra load and interferences, etc. too. For sure the designers were facing huge challenges to get the Touch where it is today. Though, if you follow the logic "Less is more" the DUET IMO delivers the much higher potential. Of course a stock DUET wouldn't ever beat a Touch. >From a commercial perspective there is no question that the Touch is the more appealing and probably better selling device. A revised DUET would have not been sellable. If you don't have at least 24/96 on your spec you're out today.
