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

On both receiver and touch I'm connecting via coax tos-link using an
AudioQuest VDM1 to an Onkyo TX-NR1
Thanks for the replies.
The 24/96 may be my biggest motivation but agree that the all around
experienc adds to the whole.
Will just be patient and wait on a good deal. Wouldn't mind used but
they seen to be selling at around 200.00 and can buy new around 250
including shipping.
Thanks again.

I disagree with that as a general rule because I have found the digital
output from the to
If the difference between decent transports (like the various SB models)
makes a significant difference to the sound, I think it would be wise to
buy a new DAC, not a new transport.

Have been very happy for several years with the duet digital out to
pacific valve upgraded lite audio dac 60. Considering upgrading the duet
to a touch but am wondering if there will be a noticable improvement in
sound quality.
