Ralph, thanks. I'm sure Phil is usually helpful; it's unpleasant, however, to be the exception when all you've done is to ask politely for advice. And there's no denying that his initial reply was both condescending and unhelpful. The fact was that I'd compared the Squeezebox Touch analog output to three other DACs I own: Benchmark DAC 1, DacMagic, and a recently acquired DacPort USB device. (The first two had been in my bedroom system on and off for a while.) I did this the usual way: listen to the Touch, listen to another DAC, listen to the touch and so on, using the same hi-rez files. Not surprisingly, the Touch didn't do as well, as these other DACs are more expensive, etc. Hence my original question, whether the convenience of the Touch could be combined with more a capable DACs than Slim Devices could pack into a streaming device whose total cost was only 299. Anyway, I've got the answer and, again, thanks to those forum members, including Outdoor Xplorer, who pitched in so far. I'd welcome other suggestions about outboard DACs that work well with the Touch. Regards S
