Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst?

I got a Logitech Squeezebox Touch and am running it stock through the analog outs of my preamp. Sounds very good but not quite as good as my Denon DVD-2930ci which has a little better inner detail & dynamics. Thought I would use them both equally but the Squeezebox's convenience makes me use it 85% of the time. Would not want to get rid of the CD player as it does SACD & DVD-Audio and Squeezebox needs the computer on to play my ripped CD's (WAV & FLAC).

Reclock the SB Touch, use a good 1.5m long coax cable and power supply and it may actually pass-up your transport. This is just jitter.

Thanks Steve. How would I reclock the SBT? Would I need to get a Synchro-Mesh? Does it come with all cables necessary for hookup? Will it give good results without an external DAC in use?

Tune - Synchro-Mesh requires a DAC, SS proc. or SS receiver to work. It is strictly digital in to digital out. It comes with no cables. The input cable can be anything, unimportant. The output S/PDIF coax cable should be a very good one and 1.5m long. I have heard good things about the "Green Hornet" from Music Direct.

The Metrum Octave is a good choice if you are on a budget for a DAC. Big step-up from the DAC inside the SBT.
