John Many thanks for your reply and explaining BitPerfect testing. At least I think I can say I have a good ethernet connection between my PC, where the files are stored, and the DAC. Regarding some files not playing I think I have resolved the issue under File Type Settings in Squeezebox Server. The majority of my music is stored as ALAC files and I have set-up Apple Lossless as follows: Apple Lossless Disabled FLAC Disabled MP3 Disabled PCM faad Files that weren't playing previously are now playing. Fingers crossed that has resolved the issue. The Touch is replacing a Duet I had running with a Fidelity Audio linear power supply. At the moment I'm running the Touch with the stock power supply and a standard computer USB cable. My initial impression of the Touch with the EDO applet installed is very positive. Sound quality is excellent, and with the 24 bit tests passing ok, maybe I don't need to spend any more money on a linear power supply or better quality USB cable. Thanks again.
