It took you a while to come up with this feedback. ;) Anyhow. It might shows that your TACT and/or the rest of your system is either that good or even that low-level that the changes are not audible to you. In fact there are only very few DAC systems I am aware of out there which manage to decouple quite good from a PC or Touch. It usually requires galvanic isolation and serious buffering, reclocking or jitter supression on the receiver side. Those systems become pretty immune against incoming distortions. This is actually one reason why the Touch is pretty immune against distortions generated by the server. Unfortunately they made the Touch a PC again. All those decoupling advantages which we could experience on a DUET were again eliminated on the Touch by introducing that Linux-OS, monitor asf. Not to forget we still face poor ethernet-groundloops on Duet and Touch - which should be avoided in any case. Logitech should have just chosen a different ethernet jack respectively implementation to stay away from the dirty network ground. I shouldn't forget to mentions though that the new reclocking and better digital outputs in the Touch got Logitech out of Trouble. I am sure that Logitech could have made a Duet much better sounding then a Touch by introducing the same Touch reclocker and digital out to it. Those devices would have been sold like mushrooms at a 100$ each at a fragment of the production-cost of a Touch. ;) And finally - To be honest - I never expected that especially you would hear a difference. ;) The interesting thing though, the vast majority of feedback I am getting pretty much confirms what I am claiming/promise to happen. There is no need for me to get into arguments with people who are "experiencing" different things.
