No matter what he buys, and how expensive, there will be other, more expensive and *supposedly* night and day better streamers/DACs that he will want. Audiophoolery is an almost incurable disease. And an expensive one. p.s. I'm not an EDO user or that knowledgeable about it. But one of its main uses was to allow one to feed a DAC via the USB out of the TOUCH. And a secondary benefit was to allow for 24/192 playback. But neither of these things necessarily change the sound quality. Some people just had DACs with only USB input they wanted to use. And I'd be shocked if anyone could tell the difference in a double-blind test between 24/192 file playback with EDO vs 24/192 file playback using LMS's automatic downsampling that is applied to play 24/192 files. *Home:* VBA2.5 4TB -or- rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 8.0.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 8.0.x>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet except Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, Material Skin, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dbpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; -Streaming:- Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113335 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
