I pondered this as well and have just upgraded from a receiver seeing the advise here that the digial transport is superior in the touch but wondered if my kit was high end enough to notice it.
On both receiver and touch I'm connecting via coax tos-link using an AudioQuest VDM1 to an Onkyo TX-NR1009 receiver, DALI Zensor 5 speakers and DALI E-12F sub. I was sceptical but amazon has a good return policy so thought nothing to lose and really pleased I did.. there is definitely something improved with the touch. Can't pinpoint it as I'm not an audiophile but I'd say things just sound crisper and the sub seems more controlled not running away with itself as much as I felt it had a tendency to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cublet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95080 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
