Hmm, they seem to have cramped quite a lot of "glitz" into such a cheap card ...when you say " sound really good for the money". Sure I could believe that, but most important; how would it compare with the mentioned Touch or a SB V3. (for your info, IMO is a Touch quite a lot better than a SB V3) . And for me "a bit more work" seems like a lot? I'm more of a "plug and play" guy ... ;-) :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ doggod's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46431 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111846
