I agree that it is doubtful that you could hear a difference. Those that can measure these things think that the S/PDIF coax path measures better in the TOUCH. The power supply in the touch seems much less noisy to me (interference with other things near by, like an FM tuner). The Touch can handle 24/96 and AAC files natively. So there are a few benefits, but certainly no night and day audio benefits.
