Let's see: I have no intention of using the USB or SD features,as I run music from a dedicated SBS server. I generally only use the digital out of the Touch, as I've got an external DAC.
My Touch is close enough to my router that I have no problem connecting wired, and I think wired gives better performance anyway. I don't plan on disconnecting the screen. But if the software mods improve the sound, why not? For me the point of the Touch is to give me high quality native decoding of hi-res from a music server, and give me the user interface (including browser interface). That's what I need. YMMV. The hiface is probably a great product. But to use it instead of the Touch you need a DAC, and some kind of user interface so that you can acutally play the music. -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Duet through Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF X-150 amp, MF V DAC3, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Mirage MS-12 sub; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.
