Squeezebox touch sounds better than benchmark dac1


Atleast on my system, the squeezebox dac sounds less harsh and has more body. The system consists of Dali Helicon mark 2 and mf nu-vista m3 integrated. Now i'm looking another dac that gives me significant improvment in sounds without the brightness of the benchmark. Any recomendation beside the w4s dac2?

Just got my Touch two days ago and I was amazed at the improvement in sound over the Squeezebox 3. I'm going to run it tonight through my Wyred4Sound DAC and listen for any difference.

While the sound is far superior to the SB3, I'm a bit disappointed in the user interface.

What's the point of touch screen when it's across the room? Also, the text is too small to read from across the room, the brightness control is not easy to use, I can't tell when I use the remote if it powers on or not, I can't access artists alphabetically in Rhapsody by pressing a letter on the remote, the buttons on the remote are too small compared to the SB3 remote, and other issues I can't remember right now.

Anyone else have these or other problems? Or am I just missing something? (OK, I may be missing something, but I mean with regard to the Touch!)
