Considering buying a SB Touch: sound quality question

Posted by paradiddle (A) on September 4, 2011 at 14:42:13

I'm seriously considering buying a Squeezebox Touch to replace my Marantz CC4300 5-disc CD changer, but am wondering whether there would be an associated decrease in sound quality. My system isn't fancy by any means (Rotel RA-931 amp, B&W DM 601 S2 bookshelf speakers) so I'm wondering whether it would even reveal a difference, if there was one. I've heard good things about the sound quality of the internal DAC on the Touch, and given that entry-level build of the Marantz I'm thinking that there shouldn't be too much difference? I'd be connecting the Touch to my Rotel amp via standard RCA cable, and the Touch would stream music (mostly FLAC, some MP3s) from an external HD connected to my Dell Dimension 2400 (Pentium 4 4.8 GHz processor, 1.0 GB RAM) running Windows XP Professional (SP 3). My Dell is wirelessly connected to our home network via USB wireless network adapter. Thanks in advance for any insight.
