DAC basically has 3 digital inputs ( at least ) one USB and one electrical RCA ( spdif ) and one optical fiber input .
touch has one electrical RCA ( spdiff ) the lonely yellow or orange one, and a optical fiber output and optionally the USB could be used as output with a special app . Technically you have 2 or maybe 3 ways to conect these together , but if we stick with the normally aviable ones it is the coax or optical aka toslink . Both works fine just pick one it works the same , you will not notice any difference in operations other than the input selector on the DAC .Touch has all outputs active all the time so there is no settings . There are endless discussion on which is the best , but if we skip that discussion you need a toslink optical fiber or a coax digital cable . A good enough digital cable can be found at for example blue jean cable , that avoids silly priced boutique stuff an optical toslink cable can be found almost anywhere ,you migth already have one ,leftover from a DVD player or similar . So to which "sounds best" it depends on the implementation and the rest of the system . Coax should have better bandwith and thus be better than the usually cheap stuff that is used for optical. But optical has galvanic isolation , and all these assumption are just that it comes down to how well the benchmark and Touch will work together , I would have tried both . The anticlimax can be that you can't hear any difference between them. So it comes back to with a standard touch you can pick any of these two options and it works . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97384 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
