hi, Guidof, thanks for your sharing. it interested me as I am seeking to
have a standalone DAC or a CD player who is able to be fed with external
digi input, 840C is an option, how did you evaluate this machine's
performance? have you ever compared the sound quality between Touch
analogue output

Dear iPhone, you are arguing logically. This is a doomed approach.
Obviously the wi-fi card generates extra noise that messes with the
DAC. C'mon - get with the programme :-)

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...

absolutely no Audio difference between streaming using the Touch whether
it has a wireless or Ethernet connection!

Sounds good!
actually on my short list, there used to be Lavry DA11, Benchmark DAC1
w/USB, and 840C, it will be perfect if 840C has a USB interface, but it
is not so critical for a SBT user. Now 840C become preferable.
Many thanks!

I haven't played anything via USB, just hard-wired gigabit ethernet with
music residing on an HP MSS (495EX),
I have two music libraries: ~1100 CD's ripped to Apple Lossless via
iTunes
About 9 24/96 albums in a separate FLAC folder on the MSS.
SBS is installed on the MSS.
Touch is connected
Thanks, dufferdan, for sharing your impressions.
About the comparison between CD, rip to WAV/burn to CD, and rip to
FLAC/play via the Touch, I too find the CD and its copy to be
undistinguishable from one another when both are played through the
Cambridge Azur. However, the FLAC played through
Thanks for the reviews guys.
guidof, you should try an external USB hard drive instead of the stick.
Prices have come way down. Less than $100 will easily get you a 1TB
drive.

Thanks for the suggestion. I may well look into an external USB drive
next.
