No one who spends $10,000 on a dCS Debussy is ever going to use a Touch. If they play computer based digital audio at all then they will use their Mac with asynchronous USB, a $500 USB and the $700 additional software to make iTunes work because that is what the clowns at the high end audio magazines and their dealer told them is best. And if they have $10K to spend on a DAC then they have the money to waste on the cable and software but that does not mean those items are required or necessary. And please stop quoting prices because that makes little difference to almost everyone who posts here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97489 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
