1. You must have the DAC connected and switched on when switching on the Touch. After which, you can switch off and on the DAC (not sure about changing DACs). However, once you switch off the DAC, you will not be able to assess the info page about the DAC in the Touch, but otherwise everything else works correctly. 2. Async USB allows the DAC to be the master clock, compared to toslink/coaxial SPDIF which makes Touch the master clock. The data transferred in all these cases are the same (assuming the systems are set up correctly). The general claim by DAC designers is that Async USB will allow the use of the superior (lower jitter) clock in the DAC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ travelfotografer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
