Yes I do see more clearly that the SB is not a USB DAC. My only confusion now is how you fail to see the direct comparison between these PC audio devices.
My initial question was 'how does the SB WITH a DAC compare to the brick'. I know what a DAC is, and will build a TDA 1543/41 NON OS DAC ASAP for the SB. BTW, the Brick has a filterless NON OS DAC as well. Your comment 'the squeezebox has one, but is not one' is a riddle to me. Please illustrate the differences between these setups: PC>Cat5>44.1k clock>low jitter signal>NON OS DAC PC>USB>USB receiver>low jitter signal>NON OS DAC The only difference I see is the short 75ohm RCA connecting the SB and DAC. There are a LOT more similarities. But don't reviewers compare turntables with CD players all the time anyway? (there's a new SB3 review at silentpc.com- and they compare it to a Linn rig). -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19367 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
