And yes.. Touch has a very good SPDIF out as it is.

So Touch has a very low SPDIF jitter (lower than 20ns since Wadia locks to its signal, see above specification) and we are going to make it even lower by this software mods? Of course I can it try by myself and see. :) But I would hate to break my current SB3 configuration. Kill 7.3.3 SC that is working well for me, install everything and then discover that there are no changes... Or... since I'm very pleased with my Touch as it is, I should just continue enjoying it! Ignorance can be a bliss! :D . -- Kuja ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kuja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79857
