Fair point but to my ears, external DAC's don't improve any on the internal DAC of the Touch. There may be some out there that do improve the sound quality but i haven't heard one. I've spent many fruitless and expensive years upgrading and came to the conclusion that most of the "improvements" are in the head. DAC's are a very cheap piece of electronics, which someone sticks in a fancy box, then tells you how wonderful it sounds. Next, they will be telling us that gold plated interconnects and leads sound better than cheap ones. :rolleyes: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stefcon1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45190 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103285 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
