OK, where is the setting to disable the digital outputs when the Touch is placed in "Off" mode? The SB3 had a setting (from the web interface) under Player>Audio>Turn Off Audio which enabled me to "Disable outputs when off", no such option for the Touch under this menu. This enabled my auto-sensing DAC to automatically select the active input. Please, please don't tell me this option has been removed!
