That may be true. I make no claims to the contrary, although some
research indicates that very low levels of jitter can affect sound
quality; I simply enjoy the combination of TP and

I think I gave you a clue why. And I think I also identified
specifically where in the TP corners were cut.
If you connect the dots, the answer should be obvious.
I used to be a "measurements is everything" kind of person. Then I
started listening to some of the best measured DAC's on Audio Science
Review and I was surprised to not only hear level matched differences
with bass/treble, etc, but also soundstage as well. The RME ADI-2
DAC/PRO for example has

To the same input on the DAC?

Thanks Claus.
I have seen that review.

I have no idea! I expected the Touch and TP to produce identical results
when their digital outputs were connected to the same DAC.
They certainly don't and I can very easily tell the

What actual properties of the digital output of the TP do you think
would be better?

I have both a Touch and a TP ( as well as a Squeezebox Classic and Boom
