AudiogoN Forums: Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D

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.
