kronos, the sb2 has a better digital output than the sb1 - i have both and an audio synthesis dax decade. this dac has 2 'lock' methods one for low quality high jitter signals and one for high quality low jitter signals. the lock method is shown on the display as either lock (low quality) or x-lock (high quality) the sb1 (even with various reclockers and jitter busters) always showed 'lock' on the display. the sb2 always shows 'x-lock'. i'd say this is pretty conclusive proof that the sb2 has a better digital output than the sb1. of course dacs vary in their sensitivity to jitter but i've often found that dacs that are less sensitive to transports don;t produce a sound that i enjoy, i suspect because they are desinged from an engineering first perspective rather than a music first one which means only 'good enough' psus and components but then i'm a audiophile nutter, so i'm happy to live with my current solution - an sb2 and a sensitive a/s dax decade. cheers
