I think that when used as digital transports, any audible differences
between the Touch and SB3 must certainly reflect the jitter-sensitivity
& noise-susceptibility etc of the DAC(?)
For instance, I recently had a chance to play with a Touch alongside an
SB3 and a separate transport - all into a

The Caiman has no reclocking, afaik.
But the differences between transports is not just jitter. There is
also noise and there may be other distortions.

Hi Gazjam
Thanks for that - very interesting and helpful. The only thing that
puts me off the Touch is losing the Duet's remote, I guess I could
control the Touch with the Duet remote but that then becomes an
expensive player!

Hi
I have been meaning to do this for a while, when first installed I
couldn't live with the Duet against the CD5i, the sound was dull and
lifeless in comparison, the DAC solved that (bought used, so already
run in). Approx nine months on the Duet is well run in and the
difference is not so great

I too use the Duet with a T-7510 and I am very pleased with the sound, I
sold my Naim CD5i as I couldn't tell the difference, unplugging the DAC
from a cheap power strip and plugging it straight into un-switched wall
sockets improved the sound dramatically so no regrets selling the CD
player.

Hi,

I use a coax rather than an Optical link as I found co-ax to be better

Now that we have exchanged appologies and hopefully eliminated all the
