As I am listening to more and more tracks (no alterations to SB2 set up yet), the repro does not seem to sound as full/rich as previous set up, not so smooth, and the separation of instruments does not seem to be so concice/real.
OK, lets have a bit of a summary so far, so I know roughly what I am up to, please do comment, of course: 1) Give a long, reasonable quality toslink cable a bash, to remove SB2, and hopefully some RF, from the area of the other bits and bobs. 2) Check my settings to make sure that FLAC is being used and not converted to something like mp3 - but I'm not 100% sure how I go about this (post #6)- (6.1.2 slimserver settings, file types as default) 3) Try a decent stereo interconnect from SB2 to my Arcam to give the nice DAC in the SB2 a chance to shine. 4) I am afraid my budget can not streach to a new external DAC, however somewhat on the cheaper side, I have been reading about linear 5Vdc power supplies, such as: http://www.lascarelectronics.com/PRODUCTS.CFM?STOCKNO=PSU%2020105&CFID=13852724&CFTOKEN=62348064 http://www.stontronics.co.uk/productdetails.cfm?lproductid=3 Any thoughts? Sorry, I can't seem to get the addresses to act as links. EDIT - no, they do work.... Cheers for all the help so far everybody! -- Deaf Cat _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
