Diego, I'm surprised you find the SBT's analog output unsatisfactory. I had been using a Lavry DA-10 DAC (a very highly regarded $1,000 DAC) with my SB3 when I bought the Touch. I did two weeks of back-to-back, synced and volume matched comparison between the SB3/Lavry and the Touch and could not reliably tell the difference. I ended up selling the Lavry.
Perhaps my system isn't fancy enough or my aging ears have fallen too far (though I can spot lots of differences when other items are switched) but I find the analog outs of the Touch very good. I know some will spend a lot of money for that last 1 or 2%, but I can't imagine a $300 DAC offering any improvement. I'd double check setting and connections if I were you. Equipment location can also be an issue in terms of picking up radiated EMI. Make sure those are not the issue before you throw money at the project. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82539 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
