Well golly, at least our drunken stupor had some consistently. We also found that a modded external DAC, $200 all in, including swaps of the 3 socketed opamps, although impressive, didn't equal the $8,000 Dodson. Same thing as the SB, save for the fact that those who brought the DAC, agreed, didn't whinge about it and make snarky comments
> Why didn't they post on this forum? Given the faith based opinions expressed by many here, I'd assume folks didn't want to put up with the inevitable whinging. Is it devatating news that a given product 5x+ more expensive might be better? Nor does concluding that the SB isn't the bestest transport in the whole wide world take anything away from the tremendous value that the SB3 offers. > Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Mine is that the SB can (in > the right setup) equal or better ANY spinning disc transport. Indeed, opinions are like bodily orifices, everybody has at least six. I might even judge yours to be credible if it was based upon comparisons to an Oracle of Aberdeen modded Nothstar. That being said, I do feel the SB2/3 is the best transport one can get for <$500 ($300 for the SB and $200 to diy a proper ps and powerconditioner). That SB is certainly better (IMO, based on actual comparisons) as a transport than an EA modded Sony S7700, which in olden days was quite highly regarded. > YMMV now back off. Back off from what?
