sorry, I'm being daft this morning, but I'm still confused. You have your Touch connected via ANALOG to your DAC? That can't be good. Are you saying: 1. Touch > Analog out > DAC > receiver 2. Touch > digital out (S/PDIF or optical) > DAC > Receiver 3. Touch > Analog out > Receiver you are saying 1 or 2 is better than 3, but 1 is better than 3? Or are you saying 3 is best, and 2 is marginally better than 1. (And I'm still confused with the idea of going from analog out from touch, reconverting to digital within the DAC, then converting back to analog to feed receiver. Also, I'm assuming the receiver is not doing any digital processing itself. Many newer receiver, particularly Home Theater receivers, have their own DAC and even when you feed them with analog they reprocess the audio. Some have a "pure" bypass mode for connecting analog from other sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96416 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
