okay good point. I will probably end up doing that. Was also wondering if there was a proper "new" replacement from another manufacturer so i don't have to buy a used Touch with no warranty, etc. > Obvious low cost solution is a RaspPi running piCorePlayer plus > HiFiBerry Digi+ (cost for both is under $100) feeding whatever external > DAC they like. ($450 for the SMS-100 is robbery). That looks interesting also.. i will look if i can find someone who sells the "finished product", including a nice case and stuff. I've been browsing around and found 'this awesome thing' (http://www.crazy-audio.com/2014/11/a-squeezebox-replacement-based-on-the-hifiberry-dac-and-the-raspberry-pi/) would be nice if someone would actually sell them. > It could be just the PSU.
