I read that the Touch' USB output was better than its S/PDIF output. I'm very curious by nature and I needed to find out for myself. It's not night and day but I can say that adding the V-Link in the mix HAS improved the sound somewhat. It's just a bit more rounded and easier on the ears. Expectation bias? I don't think so. I also keep reading that a computer hooked up to a decent USB DAC or USB converter/DAC bests the Touch hooked up to the same DAC by a decent margin so my next step will be to connect the V-Link to a PC. I didn't want to spend a fortune on an expensive USB converter just to satisfy my curiosity. I forget who, but someone on Computer Audiophile did a review of the V-Link 192 and rated its sound quality to be about 90% of the best out there. So I when I saw it for 1/2 price on Music Direct I went for it. Hope that explains my "irrational" behavior. I'm not being sarcastic either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turnandcough's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
