The Touch also streams Tidal and Qobuz.... Big Deal... Does this device stream spotify? With the Apps written for LMS by the SBT Community such as the Triode Spotify and Smart Mix, the software is vastly superior!
If you actually understood what the SBT can do you would not be spouting off!
Now....You run Along Sonny !

The SB Touch is a unique device and as such there will never be a like alternative - Dave_K 04:53:37 05/17/15 (1)
For those of you who find the SB Touch feature set to be just right for your needs, there will never be a better Touch.

Personally, I never really understood the appeal of the SB Touch, in particular having a slow & clunky (compared to say an iPhone) touch browsing & control interface that's tethered to the system. The Transporter + controller app made a lot more sense to me as an audiophile product, and I'm surprised that so many audiophiles went for the Touch and ignored the Transporter. There was a time when the Transporter with ModWright mods seemed like the way to go for me, but then DLNA broke out and I went with the open standard.

You guys can thank Slim Devices for making SlimServer open source and providing plugin API documentation. That should keep the SB platform relevant for a while longer.
- Don't need another Touch....Just some Key features... - Cut-Throat 07:06:44 05/17/15 (0)
  1.) Ability to Stream any music service from the internet primarily. This is where all other streamers fall short.
  2.) Ability to stream Files (They all can do this)
  3.) Prefer no internal DAC. Just increases Cost and is unnecessary for Audiophiles.
  4.)Digital outputs.
  5.) The real advantage of the Touch is LMS.... A single user friendly portal for all internet streaming services and your personal files.
  Don't need a Screen or Remote and No Built in Amplifiers, Speakers, DACs either.... Or any Full Blown Windows or Apple PC hooked directly to my DAC either.
