one of a number of differences I'm interested in evaluating.

If you apply my Toolbox to the Touch, you can turn the analog output
off from the SW side.
At least the bits are no longer routed in parallel to all outputs in
that case.

Thanks for that...interesting and entertaining! Just got my unit
yesterday..early listening was quite nice but, as some have suggested
(and my local dealer did, too), I've been running it all night and will
continue to do so until I give it a real critical listen--maybe
tomorrow.
I promise

Any other suggestions ?

How good is your top end hearing (ie over 14k?) - if it's as good as a
16-year old, go with the Ikon and get the benefit of its ribbon
tweeter.

Wouldn't a Xilinx device be reprogrammed at each power on/system reset
anyway? Nature of the beast...

No, not at all. They are three different things. Power off puts the
system in standby. Factory reset restores all user-controlled settings
to the factory defaults. Xilinx reset re-initializes the processor.

The xilinx reset reloads its (stored) program from flash memory. This is
only necessary in the rare circumstance that the stored program becomes
corrupted and it certainly doesn't need to happen each time you power
it up. It would simply delay each bootup for no reason (9,999 times out

So the term Xilinx reset doesn't refer to resetting a Xilinx device?

I've explained. The reset is only necessary if the stored program
within the (Xilinx) FPGA needs to be reloaded from external memory. The
Xilinx FPGA doesn't lose its program when power is removed.

that's not correct - a Xilinx FPGA is an SRAM device which by it's very
nature requires programming on application of power

I don't think the Xilinx devices used in the Squeezeboxes are FPGAs,
but rather CPLDs which have flash configuration therefore making them
Wow. That's an interesting discussion. It would simply be a lot of

things that were never there in the first place.

Research Dac 8 is far superior. *It has two oscillators: one for

I'm certain this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the OP is being
sent off on a witch hunt.
Syncing of players is easily undone, and selecting/deselecting digital
