Well, the Touch as transport does perform pretty darn well in comparison to the direct USB input considering the limitations of an SPDIF interface! Sounds very good to me as well in stock form, so why should I disagree? I'm going to fundamentally disagree though that "real world experience of hundreds of touch users" is: A. A fact... Where's the survey? Who was asked - apparently they missed me and maybe Mynb? Did they ask the average music lover or only card-carrying "audiophiles"? B. Substantiated... What's inadequate about the Touch as transport? How was the conclusion arrived at by the "hundreds"? That comment is truly what is "misleading" - in itself presented as fact when it appears at best as opinion if not just some kind of vague impression. It's like saying that there are "hundreds of members in the Flat Earth Society" (who knows... there probably are...). Am I supposed to be impressed?
