Logitech Duet sonds awful

I recently installed a Logitech Duet in my stereo and it sounds digital and gritty. I'm saving my cd files to WAV with Apple's Itunes and listening through the Logitech receiver with both digital outs to a Entech DAC which sounds better with my Ipod with the best resolution MP3s (highest resolution) and I'm wondering if I was naive in thinking that the digital wireless transmission wouldn't affect the sound.

Make sure that the volume is set to max on the Duet settings.

The difference in SQ could also be attributed to the S/PDIF interface on your DAC. It's possible that the signal levels are not to spec. This is actually quite common. you could also have a ground-loop from the Duet to your DAC that is problematic.

Try .wav files rather than MP3.

The Logitech Touch is a lot better than the Duet or SB3 BTW.

Hard wire it with Ethernet, yes there is a difference. Research the subject on squeeze forums.

Can you summarize what the difference is and its cause as indicated on the forums?
