the Touch with EDO handles 24/192 even with S/PDIF (not just with USB out). Of course the DAC receiving the digital signal from the Touch must also handle 24/192. (Optical may also handle 24/192 with EDO, but again requires that the DAC receiving the optical input handles 24/192....and I recall that even some DACs that handle 24/192 don't handle it via Optical (toslink).
When you are using the ANALOG out from the TOUCH, its hard to say what's happening at your receiver. Many modern receivers take an analog signal input and still run it through the receiver's own DAC. Others have an internal DAC bypass, or something similar. This is typically not a good idea (i.e., the path is Digital signal > DAC > Analog > Digital Signal > Analog). Of course whether this double conversion produces any audible degradation is questionable (and probably doesn't in most cases). *Location 1:* VortexBox 4TB (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > Squeezelite *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S & iPad2 (iPeng7 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Streaming - Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101376 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
