Logitech Touch vs Duet

I'm very interested in getting a Logitech streaming device fed into an external DAC. Questions however to those that have used either but preferably both:

1. Has one device been more reliable then the other? I've read through a lot of the virtual systems and many users cite "great when it works" referring to the Duet.

2. Other then 'touch' commands are there any advantages from one or the other? The Touch is newer but also cheaper then the Duet at least where I live.

3. Is there anything annoying about the Touch i.e size, interface, drop-outs?

Any advice or comments would be most welcome.

Thanks

The earlier Duet remote software was flaky and would frequently lose synch with the server. I haven't had any problems with newer versions for some time.

I never get buffer delays, but my receiver is connected with cat5.

Sometimes wireless devices just don't get along. $100 for a different router isn't a big deal.

I have had to replace the Duet battery after a couple of years use. Since when do batteries need replacing? (sarcasm)

If you have difficulty navigating thousands of albums, perhaps start with 'artist' or 'genre' instead. The wheel is not the perfect interface, but short of having a device with an alpha keyboard, I think it works fine.

I will be getting a Touch soon.

I recommend anyone getting a Squeezebox anything, start with dbPoweramp and FLAC.
