I have a Touch that I use with a Duet Controller. (I had the full Duet but sold the Receiver unit about 6 months ago.) My synopsis: the Touch sounds better than the Duet and also directly supports 24/96 material. That said, the Duet Receiver still sounded very good and would be fine for most people. I kept the Controller as I very rarely use the Touch's screen. I prefer selecting music and controlling the volume from my listening seat with the convenience of a full feature remote. Many people use iPods or their smart phones to control the Touch. I tried this but didn't find the interaction as satisfactory. I've read many posts where others feel the opposite. To wrap up my comments: if you have a smart phone you can use for a controller or the remote isn't important to you (where the simple remote that comes with the Touch would suffice) then definitely get the Touch. If you don't have a smart phone or iPod but a full feature remote with display is more important than the last nth of sound quality, the pendulum then goes toward the Duet. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85717 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
