Yes I have, even the Ayre. As you can see from my signature, I am a big fan of Ayre. Did you read my full post is my question for you? I have seen only two worthwhile attempts at ALL the problems USB DAC brings to the game. One I was speaking of is the Ayre and at $2500 plus having to modify a Touch ($300), I would own a Transporter every day of the week and twice on Sunday! There are a ton of USB DACs on the market, some even act like a Squeezebox by taking files from the PC to play directly, but almost everyone of them suffers from all the issues and problems that are related to USB DACs. So I will close with why buy a USB DAC if one is going to use a Squeezebox? To me it makes no sense and if one already owns a USB DAC and wants to use a Squeezebox, it makes much more sense to ditch the USB DAC and use the Squeezebox or get a Touch and a new non-USB DAC. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82040 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
