This thread got me thinking that I never gave the internal dac of the SB3 a fair go. So I hooked the SB3 analog out into the preamp as well and am able to flick between SB3 and dac1 with the push of a button.
First impressions are that they sound pretty much the same. If there is a difference it must be very subtle, perhaps one is slightly brighter or has better staging, imaging or prat. I'll have to have a few more games over the next week. Admittedly I didn't use the balanced out on the dac1 which I found sounds slightly better in a previous test. I'll have to get a cable made up for it. I am using the standard (australian) powersupply for the SB3. The rest of the system is Naim 52/250 and Linn Isobariks.
