Something like this? http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=6884&seq=1&format=2
I haven't heard one of these converters, but I would have to think that it would be a major step down in sound quality from the DAC in the Touch. Also, you may want to consider in-wall volume controls for the kitchen, because I believe if you go really low on the Touch's volume control the sound quality will also suffer. It's better to keep the Touch's output high (100% with the digital outs) and then control volume at the preamp/amp, or further downstream with in-line volume controls. Since your amp will be out of reach, wall-mounted volume controls are a good idea. But maybe these things won't matter that much if you're mostly looking for background music in the kitchen, where acoustics usually suck anyway. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81504 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
