Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D


Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch as Class D.
I cant believe it!

I read both Audiophile and Stereophile reviews. Both reviews appeared to really like the Squeezebox Touch.

I personally have my Sqeezebox Touch digital going into my Cary 306 Pro and I beleive the sound quality in Apple Lossloss to be as good as when I play a CD through it.

I guess because the Touch only costs $299, according to the so called reviewers it cant be better than a class D.
Thats Garbage, I say.

First, Atkinson did not pressure or even ask me to remove any postings. I did so because they were made in haste and in error.

Second, if you Google a bit, you will find I have made many posts (> 20,000 on AVS alone) and a substantial number have opinion.

"Class D" doesn't mean a component is bad, it means it should provide satisfying sound but isn't near the state-of-the-art. The Stereophile review said that the sound from the analog outputs was a couple of notches below state-of-the-art (the TAS review was kinder), so I assume that this is what determined its rating, along perhaps with the 96 kHz sampling rate limitation.

Too bad, not the rating I mean, but the DAC, since I've been considering getting one as a temporary sound source . . .
