Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
Hello Finally got around to picking up a Touch to try EDO. My only use is for headphones. I see Matrix is going to release a new DAC/Headphone amp-'QUATTRO II ' (http://store.matrix-digi.com/index.php?route=product/product=63_id=58) I know this is new but does it look like a good companion? Or is there a lower cost recommended alternative? Volume control-my assumption is that using EDO does not allow or is not recommended for volume control directly from LMS? With this in mind a unit with integrated volume control would be needed. Thank you in advance an I look forward to your thoughts.

I found the SBT (in my bedroom) headphone out to be rather poor and subject to interference from the network card so I opted for a Topping amp and use it mostly to drive a pair of AKG headphones. In fact I am listening to some jazz in that mode right now. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* - iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 connected Digitally - > Celestion Ditton F20s - and connected Analogue for Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 *Office* - SB3 -> Sony TA FE320 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

This is good enough for me, http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/nano-idsd/ Works with a SBT/EDO; you don't say which headphones you use and it's a very tricky, subjective area in which to offer advice. Try before you buy is my offering :) Also try the SBT's own headphone output (might be all you need, unless you have already discounted that as too plebeian:p) atb Ronnie.
