Hi, I'm one of the weird species called "audiophiles" ;) Basically I'm interested in the idea of having a music server. Since I already own an expensive battery-powered DAC based on PCM1704K that is fed by a heavily tweaked Cambridge Audio player (upgraded clock, new power supply etc.), I would connect my Squeezebox to that external DAC. I know there are also cheaper thin clients out there so my question is would the stock SB unit be good enough without additional "digital-out" mods? The Squeezebox would only deliver data to the external DAC so I'm not concerned about its internal analog circuitry. Sound quality is most important for me. If the SB can do a job as good as the modified Cambridge drive, I would be more than happy. The ability to play FLAC encoded stuff is nice but not essential. I would be interested in your opinions comparing the SB versus other clients feeding external DACs.
Thanks for your help, Michael -- mlihl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlihl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20026 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
