I replaced a duet with a TOUCH and find the TOUCH better, but not "night and day, oh wow" better. I suppose it depends on whether 200 is knocking around money or 1/2 your rent. I've spent a lot more on buying music in the last 3 years and attending concerts than on all my SB players (and I have several). But bottom line is that I like the TOUCH for many reasons a lot more than the duet receiver. If nothing else, it plays AAC natively and 24/96 files natively. Is easier to setup and gets better wifi performance. -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92805
