SB touch + NDAC vs ND5 XS

Yes I have - if you search the forum you should come across quite a few threads on this topic.

My preference is for the SBT & nDAC.  Functionality of the SBT, the large display plus great sound. I think that that it is a great combination.

My concern now though is how long the SBT will last as they are no longer in production. 

SBT + nDAC is hard to beat.  For the $ the sound is phenomenal.  I have not seen the OP precise question anwered on the Forum.
