First you need a good linear power suplly, than carefully arranged network, well configured SBS and some software tweaks.
One good DAC can bring SBT in another class. At the beginning i was using Touch with old DPA DX32 Dac, later i have built one DAC around Gigaworks DAC with Jensen Transformers at the output http://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=77490 and finally i have built Buffalo II Dac http://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=97755 and the sound is better than ever. If you don't have any DIY skills, than you have to pay a lot for a good DAC :) With a good linear power supply Touch sounds OK and something like Cambridge DACmagic or Musical Fidelity Vdac is not a great improvement, you need at least something like Lavry DA11 or Benchmark HDR to make Touch sound really better. If possible, borrow a DAC and see if you hear improvement in your system, just make your own opinion :) These are my 5 cents. -- praganj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ praganj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87168 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
