Indeed! Rereading item_audio's posts in the light of the above is instructive. He is casting doubt on the Touch's abilities as a digital audio streamer, compared to alternatives which can cost upwards of 10 times more than the Touch, and which he happens to sell. Fair enough, if item_audio (or anyone else) wants to point to concrete ways in which the Touch is deficient. But instead, we get pure FUD: "it's all very complicated, no-one really understands it, perhaps no-one ever will understand it, so the best we can do is spend a fortune on engineering solutions to problems which may or may not exist." This seems to be the line. Mil-spec power supply connectors indeed! Item_audio may say here that he agrees that the TAS articles rely too much on subjective evaluation, but this doesn't stop him quoting completely subjective twaddle on his web site, from a rave review of one of his products in Hifi World. Apparently his streamer makes the Spice Girls listenable! -- darrell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13460 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93549 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
