On the flip side to last week's question, what product have you purchased that gave you the <I>least</I> bang for the buck?
Bravo to Kal, for a very informative review of the Squeezebox Touch (not to mention JA's great illustrative measurements). I particularly applaud Kal's experimentation with, and reporting, about John Swenson's (unofficial) USB output "tweak" which I was not particularly familiar with. However, I'm wondering if it was perhaps just the Ayre DX-5 DAC itself that elevated the performance of the pair, and wonder if similar tweaks could be implemented for Toslink or S/PDIF output as well (which is how I'm feeding my Benchmark DAC).
My Wadia 8 utilizes the Teac VRDS clamping mechanism. Any similarity?
