I think that when used as digital transports, any audible differences between the Touch and SB3 must certainly reflect the jitter-sensitivity & noise-susceptibility etc of the DAC(?)
For instance, I recently had a chance to play with a Touch alongside an SB3 and a separate transport - all into a Benchmark PRE. Result: Absolutely no difference that any of us could hear, within the several systems tried. However, the Benchmark is an Ultralock design (not a PLL-design): It is noted for its highly-isolated conversion clock and for showing no measurable jitter-induced artifacts resulting from normal use of any of its digital interfaces. Keep in mind that I am most admittedly NOT an expert - so if there is somehow more to the story, I'd like to hear it as much as anybody else! :) -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78036 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
