Even though Stereophile by now notorious "Class D" has stolen the headlines, one would hope people actually focused on the reviews themselves (both Stereophile's and TAS's), which are extremely positive.
After three weeks of listening through the Touch as a transport into the DAC of my Cambridge Azur 840C and comparisons with both the Oppo BDP-83 and the Azur 840C used as transports into the same DAC, I have to agree that most of the time I can't tell the difference in terms of sound quality. In those instances where I can, I prefer the sound through the Touch: a tad more "musical," with more "air," and generally more lifelike. And indeed 96/24 FLACs through the Touch are by far the most satisfying sound I ever listened to through my system.
