Since one of the reasons I bought the Touch rather than another Duet was for the ability to play 96/24 tracks, let me just comment on this. I started another thread on here asking for specific tracks people had purchased that sounded better in 96/24 than 44/16. Nobody provided even a single such track. Got lots of suggestions about really good sounding hi-res tracks, but not a single person claimed to have done comparisons and been able to hear a difference between the two versions of the same track. I have purchased a few hi-res tracks now and have a couple both hi-res and CD quality. While the hi-res tracks sound very good, so do CD quality tracks from the same labels. When you add in the premium price labels are asking for the hi-res material, it is not at all clear to me that it is worth buying, and I would not now consider this an important reason for purchasing the Touch (even though it influenced me).
