The comment that Mauidan is referring too (in which the poster made no sense, as he didn't compare two similiar things but rather he compared using the SB3 as a tranport to SB3 with analogue out) In my opinion, if anyone thinks the SB3 analogue out sounds the same as SB3 digital out to a high quality dac, then they don't have a resolving enough set up to hear the difference. IT's not monumental but my SB3 into a DAC1 sounds better than straight analogue out. -- mr_bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mr_bill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
