Hi,
I'm considering a Touch for the 24/96 support (got a Duet now). Also
the possibility to get ONE remote for everything is appealing and I want
a Harmony One to do the job. However - the Touch will be positioned
about 2.5 meters from my couch so the questions is: How is the browsing
experience
Its already on display in the Netherlands in the wifimedia shop. Very
nice design. Looks smaller IRL than expected.

Sure.. I'm just pointing out that if you cannot hear a difference, then
it doesn't matter.You don't get brownie points for making something
less inaudible.
I think the Touch used as a server and outputting via SPDIF directly
into a DSP or a DAC is the

I will experiment with the internal DAC of the Touch but I think i will
use the coax output to connect an external DAC like the Musical Fidelity
VDAC that promises good performance at relatively low cost
I'll wait until I can listen to the Touch myself,

information gathered around converges to one point : you will probably
need a much better dac than the V-dac to outperform it. ;)

Looks interesting, but they don't provide any details about the DAC and
analog output stage. Also, the angle of the display would make it
difficult to view from your listening position. I presume they figure
you'd use and iPhone or iTouch for primary control. I d/l the Opus 4
brochure, which

You're comparing 2 different things. You can not compare the distortion
of the signal and the power .. :-O
Distortion then is not the only parameter on which you decide the
quality of a component hifi / hiend!
is important but not the
Thanks Phil, I'll give it a go...
