Kal, Excellent work on the review, which I enjoyed while listening to the "serviceable" analog outputs of the Touch.
JA's measurements backed up your observations that a good outboard DAC would be of benefit, especially as regards noise floor for high-resolution material and low-frequency phase jitter. An asynchronous USB link to a high-quality DAC from Ayre should, and apparently did, offer an effective cure for both these limitations. It seems to me that having a USB audio connection is a much more interesting use for the USB port than providing for external storage for a somewhat crippled internal server (which I've never been tempted to use, anyway). Has John Swenson published his mod instructions somewhere? -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81346 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
