I don't think so. These units are more geared for the audiophile wanting a component style piece in their system. -- steveinaz - transport: squeezebox touch - dac: benchmark dac/pre - linestage: placette passive - power amplifier: parasound hca-1500a - speakers: fritz speakers carbon 7

The SB Touch is a good match for audiophiles as well. Just use a good external DAC and it can compete with the high end systems at a significant lower cost. The user experience of the Squeezebox system is one of the best out there. Once you used it there is no good alternative available. --

I'm awaiting a Touch as well, so I can retire one of our Classics as a backup to the others. My understanding is the Touch PSU draw is the same as a Classic (5v/2a) unless USB is being used. In the latter case the Touch requires its 3a supply. So, I'd go with 10 watts max, excluding USB loads.
