Answer, *NO!* The Touch sounds great without attempting to 'Tweak It'. Are some people always going to be looking for more? Yes they are and most of them will end up being conned or spending more money then it takes to buy the next model up the chain in the first place. If there were 'Free Tweaks', don't you think the manufacture with all their resources would have included them to improve their own product? Stop and actually think about that one for a minute. In my limited testing so far over the weekend, the so called 'Tweaks' haven't shown any improvements. Not any noticeable audio change and no difference in the baseline graph vs the software tweak graph! More importantly, the reason for buying a Touch is for the features. Anybody can buy a USB DAC and play music from a PC. The whole idea of Squeezebox is it "Frees Ones Music" from being tied to the location of the computer. WiFi means the Touch is free to be placed at the Stereo instead of the Stereo placed at the PC with a USB DAC. Lastly, if some improvement does show up as my testing continues, I feeling fairly sure it is not going to be something night and day. It will most likely be something very minuet which would need a system so expensive to enable one to hear it that one would not be using a Touch in that system anyway! So buy and keep your Touch unless you should have bought a Transporter in the first place! -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80013 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
