All, So, I finally received my Lavry DA10 (it shipped last week). The difference between using it with my CDP and using my CDP alone are minimal. The difference between using the SB3 alone and the SB3 through the DAC is striking.
Mind you, I was prepared to find it to be otherwise. I'm not into throwing money at problems that don't exist and listening for "problems." Still...more intense imaging, that sort of thing. Worth a grand? That's a good question. If I didn't already have terrific speakers, I'd have to say the thousand dollars are better spent on speakers.. So, here's my question: The digital output for the SB3 is 44.1 and 48, maximum. This is not a big deal, because CDs are 16/44.1, anyway. You already have a sampling rate beyond human hearing. Having said THAT, there are some formats -- notably some things on DVD (not DVD-A) that take advantage of 24/96. Could I tell the difference if that file is "compressed" by the SB3 to 44.1? Who knows; probably not. Still, the nerd in me would like to check it out. Anyway, I'm not really in modding and find that most things out there are expensive panaceas. Having said that...anyone know if increasing digital output is possible? -- highdudgeon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19475 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
