I had my Touch connected to the Oppo 105 via USB. It worked "out-of-the box" and it was really a very pleasant experience to me, compared to the rather thin and flat sound of my T+A Music Player Balanced (that I sold then). Both connected to the same amp via XLR. A downside might be for some people, the digital inputs of the Oppo are limited. They "only" accept up to 96kHz. In case gellie doesn`t have "hi-res" files with 24/176,4 and 24/192, the SPDIF/optical connects are surely more recommendable. Also concerning the missing support of USB hot-plugging. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Holzohr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=55329 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98678 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
