I have been very impressed with the Touch via my Benchmark DAC. It has replaced my C.E.C. transport! I believe a lot of it has to do with hard disk drive derived music. It just seems smoother, more analog like, with outstanding seperation/soundstage--and very nice detail retrieval without sounding hard or clinical.
Very nice. I did not have much confidence in this purchase--but it has worked out very well. -- steveinaz - transport: squeezebox touch/channel island audio ps - dac: benchmark dac/pre - linestage: placette passive - power amplifier: parasound hca-1500a - speakers: harbeth compact 7es-3 monitor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveinaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34707 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93111 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
