Ok. Now we're switching subject from source to active vs. passive speakers. Such a discussion can go on forever. You know that. In my (and not only my) setup the modified Touch feeding that full digital amp makes a huge difference. It even makes my 15year old Acapella speakers shine. For quite some time I wasn't even motivated to move on to my main system. I asked myself what else do I need. BTW: I also run some full active ADAM speakers, beside my semi active Bastanis Apollo main speakers. -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 2.0' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/01/soundchecks-squeezebox-touch-toolbox-20.html) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87098 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
