This is a reasonable priced device, to cater to such a fringe request would make it more expensive to 99.9999% of it's intended customers without them getting anything back for it. Cost benefit is very low . We have no real clue if the hardware would be good enough for 192k. So we might as well look at a more expensive device if it was designed for it. We could turn the question the other way ? We should be very lucky that logitech *have* included 24/96 24/88.2 cabability at all in the Touch, and to such a low price. And be happy with what we got here :) And other reports here suggest that the designers actually have put some effort in to the sound-quality ? The majority would use it as an web-radio SQ is in most cases of no consequence. Logitech must believe that web radio and downloads is going to sound better in the future, this is very optimistic pow, I'm happy they think this way and makes sound-quality an design parameter at all. They have made a device that would cater for most peoples need of playing their mp3 files and streaming services at the same time as we audiophiles can stream 24/96 to our DAC's and processors, or maybe enjoy the Touch's own DAC. This is an amazing wide scope to cram into the same device. Maybe we should not rock the boat ? an executive would probably not blink to make the decision to reduce it to 24/48 to make room for twitter or something equally daft ;) ssh . -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
