It seems that we are making circles now... :) I think you are missing the point I already made in my previous posts... :) If you continue reading just a line below your previous quote of my post: > With these mods you are striping off all the good things that make a > Touch what it is. > You are transforming it into something completely different.... > > ....With these mods, you are converting Touch to something similar in > function to some simple USB to SPDIF converter.

Some dedicated SPDIF out device, without features that are removed by this Touch mods. So you could get more performance for less money, if audio quality is of the greatest concern. > > If sound quality is the most important aspect, you might get equal > audio performance for less money, or better performance for similar > money. FOR ME IT MAKES NO SENSE TO BUY AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT AS TOUCH, AND THEN DISABLE 90% PERCENT OF ITS FEATURES THAT YOU PAID FOR! If your main/only concern is audio quality, there are other devices that will do better in that regard for the similar money. That was the point. And I chose Touch. No I'm not promoting other manufactures. :) . -- Kuja ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kuja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80013 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
