My point was that beyond a certain quality level there is very little difference or no difference between digital transports these day's . Pair that with bitperfect rips and where are these $$$ digital transports ? This is progress but would stereophile or it's readers acknowledge this ? They want to relish in $$$ digital cables and "stuff" like quantum purifiers ;) what would the criteria be for grading digital transports that are the same ;) price or high end looks or what ? Surprised that someone not yet managed to stick a tube inside a digital transport ? The Touch as digital transport would be graded against other digital transports if get stereophiles rating system right a class A thing would be one of the best of it's kind .But in digital transports this would be less meaningful than it once was. Also consider modern DAC's and processors very resilient against "bad" transports. So yea Touch = A-D (Digital -Analog) Analog is another deal here is differences that can be heard, that are meaningfull to rate and grade . I would like a third rating for "product quality" I suppose part of the rating reflects that nowadays to . Product quality has many dimensions but that would be another post. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE for the rear ch.
