I'm convinced that some of the features that made the Touch so successful and widely accepted ultimately compromise its performance:
1. It had to be WiFi equipped for most folks.
2. It had to have its own touch screen based UI.
3. It had to include an internal DAC.
Which is exactly the target of aftermarket add-ons like EDO and what recommended configurations seek to address.
I doubt the uRendu product would ever have existed without the Touch having defined the genre and created awareness for the value of using a compact streamer. The designers at Sonore have kept what works and seriously optimized their unit for enthusiasts. I fully intend to continue using LMS and my remaining Touch leveraging those three features in the garage system.
