I've been over the moon since I've installed my Touch. Keep
rediscovering my music library, and the excitement in my listening room
is growing like crazy. My wife is now also enamored with the incredibly
revealing capabilities of this little digital transport device (I'm
using it strictly as a transport to feed the bits into my Beresford
Caiman DAC).
However, not everything is rosy as it seems. Having such a revealing
player can be quite heartbreaking at times. For example, my wife and I
listened to one of our favorite tracks ("El Picador" by Cecelia
Barraza) in a huge anticipation to be blown away. This is one of those
tracks that we always thought were sonically so rich, and thus
emotionally so engaging. But much to our chagrin, Touch now reveals
that it's a very poorly recorded, poorly produced piece of music. So
all of a sudden, the magic is gone.
On the up side, however, many of the tracks that I thought were ho-hum
are now being revealed by the Touch to be actually quite brilliant! So
you lose some, and then you gain some.
Have any of you been through this re-discovery process, where you find
out that what you thought was a great sounding recording actually
sounds sub-standard when played through a more revealing system?
