These are good points. There has always been an argument for separates in audio for just this reason. In the high end, it is almost taken for granted, for instance, that we separate line states and amplifiers. With a SB3 and Lavry you do have the advantage of being able to handle more or different kinds of digital signals. If you pipe through some potentially jittery component in the way -- say, an EQ unit -- the Lavry will handle it. Again, in my experience, everything sounds the same through the lavry.
The bit about decay in the review interests me a great deal. 325xi;146027 Wrote: > Sounds good... Assuming close qulaity levels, my major concern is > versatility.

The nicest thing was doing away with the preamp. The SB3 is a perfect Transport. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28369 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
