Keep in mind that the Rega DAC's direct USB input implementation only
supports 44.1/48 khz rates. If you want to fully use Triode's USB
implemenation on the Touch, you'll need a USB/SPDIF converter to allow
up to 24/96 via optical or up to 192 via coax into the Rega.
Yeah its something to bear in mind.
I do however use the SBT locally with a flash drive attached to the usb port.
I could use the SD card slot but its more convenient to use the USB.
I only have up to 24bit 96khz music ATM so I would use the optical or SPDIF
if i got the Rega.
