I have used a Logitech Duet then the Touch, and recently pulled a HP Xeon computer out of the trash! The benefits of condo living!
I put Daphile on USB memory stick and put a 1TB drive in it with my music. It sounds much better than my Touch. Now I don't know if this is do to the parts in this computer, since it was a $2k computer 4 years ago or because it is set up right next to my Dac. The Touch was also next to my dac but was connected to my computer with a 50 foot Ethernet cable. If you have an old computer laying around and know how to get in the bios, you can run Daphile pretty easily, and it's free. Worth a shot.
