well, one reason is that I would have to spend $2000 on an Empirical Audio offramp to better the sound I have with the settings I have with the Touch. As you have never tried my settings I presume you are speaking from ignorance and making a cheap jibe to get a quick laugh from your cotterie. So Jeff, why the need for personal attacks on my efforts to improve the sound of the Touch ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95031 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
