I'm taking the optical out of an SB2, into a DAC1, then balanced cables in a Pathos Logos (all balanced tube preamp, SS power section) into Magnepan 1.6QRs.
It sounds excellent to me. I've never tried blind A/Bing it with the SB2 analog outs, but I bet I could tell the difference. I also like being able to put a 24/96 signal into the DAC1 (e.g. from a DVD player, not the SB2). That's a real treat. -- Mike Anderson 'FREE RADICAL RADIO!'
