Just to be sure I'm understanding this correctly, you're using the analog outputs of the SB3 connected straight to your amps, not digital output through an external DAC then analog to the amps?
In my own testing, the SB3's analog output is significantly worse than digital out through two different DACs I've tried. So, based on your statement, it would seem to me that SB3 digital -> external DAC -> amp should produce the best sound quality. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27275 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
