Thank you for the replies and suggestions. I will definitely turn the volume on the Touch up to 100% and use the preamp for management of the overall level. I speculate that this will allow the Touch to fully blossom as a source.
My Denon CD player is 15-20 years old. I am certain that the Touch's DAC would destroy any circuitry in the Denon. An additional DAC would be overkill as this system is just the old equipment that has been replaced. I hesitate to open up the Touch to touch the caps. The sound is as good as my expectations, but I am surprised at the minor difference between .wma and .aiff. I am confident that the old system, plus the small room size and non-optimal speaker placement, is limiting the sound. I do have to think ahead as an additional Touch may eventually be the digital source in my main system (that has a Musical Fidelity V-DAC). I suppose that creating .aiff files is safer than being disappointed by .wma. After all, hard drives are cheap. -- mrfinsky327 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrfinsky327's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50851 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91196 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
