probably wouldn't notice much, if any, difference. Couple of thoughts. Do you primarily use mysqueezebox.com (versus running SbS on your own local server)? I'd assume so if you only do internet radio. There are many stations moving to AAC format streaming. This works natively on a TOUCH but will not work on a SB3 without having SbS to deal with transcoding. Also, I assume that most of the stations you listen to are 128 streams (or less). I know there are some 320 streams out there, and maybe classical has more, not sure. But even at 256, I'm just not sure that the Touch and SB3 would be much different in terms of sound quality. Also, I assume you do not currently use a DAC of any kind. This said, my first point (many stations moving to AAC), might be worth the move, and the somewhat better analog and digital outs of the Touch would be icing on the cake. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.2 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90680 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
