Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch DAC

Be interesting to hear your feedback on that. Same price point as many popular DAC's so it has its work cut out I guess.. -- andyjayh Lounge - SB Touch with TT3.0, DC cap mod, XBMC ASRock, Proceed AVP2, CinePro 3K6, Monitor Audio GR20's, 10TB unRAID Workshop - SB3, T-Amp, JBL C1's Office

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch DAC

No hiding now :) Interesting, a spdif input on the Teac, hmmm, could be fun to try. So what sounds the best then, silver disc or FLAC? -- andyjayh Lounge - SB Touch with TT3.0, DC cap mod, screen disconnected, XBMC ASRock, Proceed AVP2, CinePro 3K6, Monitor Audio GR20's, 10TB unRAID Workshop

to receive good press and reviews. Build quality always looks very high with their products and the designer is happy to front the company which has to be a good sign. As I say, be very interested to get some feedback from you once you have you new device. -- andyjayh Lounge - SB Touch with TT3.0

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch DAC

I will need any other the other versions. Did you audition Benchmark against any other DACs before you committed? Really want to find a deal who carries the W4S / Rega / Benchmark DACs so I can go for a listen. Rega is the hardest one to find with other products so far. -- andyjayh Lounge

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch DAC
