Correct, Touch has it's own well regarded DAC for analog output. BUT, even an analog input into a digital AVR (like you are asking about) will likely result in another DAC conversion in the AVR. Digital file to Touch, Touch does DAC, analog out to AVR, AVR reconverts analog back to digital,

The main advantage of the Asynch USB connection is the elimination of clock jitter. Basically, rather than having to recover a clock signal from the signal sent by the SBT to the DAC (Push), the asynch USB approach allows the DAC to control when it receives information (Pull). SBTs are fairly
