If someone *has* had this done and wants to report their perception of
the results, that would be cool.

Well, maybe, but certainly not sufficient to go from rubbish to very
good.
My Touch already sounded good out of the box, and I haven't

I've heard of radical upgrades that take the electrolytic caps out of
the path from Frontal Labotics. I can't see any on eBay at the moment
First you need a good linear power suplly, than carefully arranged
network, well configured SBS and some software tweaks.
One good DAC can bring SBT in another class. At the beginning i was
using Touch with old DPA DX32 Dac, later i have built one DAC around
Gigaworks DAC with Jensen

That's your brain's burn-in, not Touch's analogue section. ;)

Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits
Hello cparker. I'm not sure if you understood me. After 50-100 hrs of
running in the analogue section from new, the sound out of the analogue
section has suddenly transformed, form rubbish to very very good indeed.
By very good, I mean up there in the £1000+ cd player world. I have
£2000 cd

Yeah definitely, you need to switch it on 5 mins before you want to
play anything, to enable the valves to warm up...

Thank you for the advice. Well, very strange in a good way. I've tried
wav files again and I am astounded. The sound quality has transformed,
and is really good. I had the touch volume at 100% before, so its not
that. I'm guessing its a run-in thing.
Anyway, the sound quality of wav files are

100% and do all volume adjustment on your audio equipment.
I do exactly that and control volume via my pre-amp. I am only using
analogue R/L RCA into my pre-amp and my FLAC jazz files sounds

I'm pleased with it, the choice of radio stations is great, specially
as I listen so much to jazz. Been listening to TSF Jazz Paris jazz
station at 192kb and its been remarkably good. Amazing even.
Something is clearly wrong if a 192k MP3 sounds better than a properly
ripped lossless file.
Have you tried burning some of your WAV's to a CD and play them on your
CD player to see if the lackluster audio follows the file?
