What I did only recently totally left me in awe. I installed the Toolbox 3.0 on the Touch.

It is a software tweak that will cost you approx half an hour to implement.
What is does is disable everything that is not needed. This includes the display, wifi (use a wired connection), infrared and other stuff. Additionally it modifies some settings. The difference is breath taking.
So this also made me realize that a high-end digital source is probably capable of making another huge difference. I'm waiting for the dialog because of the bit-perfect streaming it should mean it doesn't get any better than that.
Anyway I'd advise any audiophile squeezebox touch owners to install the toolbox. It will become a small black brick only controllable via an App but at a great performance gain.

this looks interesting, I will have some through reading. anyway, I will use an ipad to control the device so I can leave without the wifi.
