I would not use the volume control in the Duet. It is a digital volume control and you will lose bit resolution.
I have tried it and it sounds terrible.

Duet to Touch for next upgrade?
Current 2 channel system:
Marantz sr6005
Bryston 2bst
Lite Audio dac 60 upgraded
Gallo 3.1
Squeezebox duet
Also used for HT with additional equipt.
Have been seriously considering upgrading to a seperate preamp but have now turned my thinking to getting a sb touch. The thought is that I should start with the best source and work up from there.
Reading here and elsewhere seems to indicate that the touch is much better than the duet in all areas and that with the Soundcheck toolbox tweaks it is even better. Originally I had thought it was just the dac in the touch but now I seem to be seeing that there is much more to it.
Is the touch the right first step for the biggest bang for buck?
Thanks
Steve
