I am running the Touch directly into my Creek 5350SE line-level inputs and enjoying the results. I used to run a SB Classic through a Benchmark DAC1 into the same amplifier. If I had wanted to I could have kept the Benchmark for use with the Touch, but careful listening did not motivate me to do so. Apparently, I willfully swapped Stereophile "class A" sound for "class D", and thereby joined the Great Unwashed. So be it: it sure sounds like music to me. -- 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=82593 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
