Yeah the digital outs are also claimed to be better . As a digital transport it sure is as good as it gets in practice . ( my main hifi is in my signature ).
But I do not use the internal DAC in any critical position I tried it briefly with my old amp and speakers years ago and it was ok I fi remember rigth,but ones sound memory last minutes at best so I can't really say how it does with confidence. ( there are hifi reviewers that compare sound from stuff they used years ago from memory that simply don't work at all :) ) It drives my kitchen speakers and in long term listening I've been happy with it . but the measurement is fair and it should perform accordingly . Modern small signal ( not driving speakers ) equipment are often in practice completely transparent if you remove the perception OT other bias from the testing . Touch is amazing at its price ,but you have removed the big chassi and mechanics of a cd player and thus >80 of the cost . And your computer rips better ( with the rigth software ) than any cd drive could match in real time . That's a paradigm shift you solve the " problem " by not having it at all . ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
