I agree that when comparing digital sources you should try and use the same digital cable, but you still haven't said what transport you based this statement- "Using a high grad coax cable with aaif files the SB is indistinguible from my class A DAC" on. None of the digital sources JA used in the SB3 review are "high end transports," so he has no idea how it compares to the best transports available. Over on audiocircle.com a group of folks compared stock and modified SBs to a high end transport this past weekend. All of them preferred the transport. -- mauidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mauidan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
