I am :) ...and the pictures of the upgraded SPDIF output are in fact a
little misleading. What matters with SPDIF is the jitter between
successive clock edges, but neither image actually shows this. What's
needed is a plot from a time interval analyser. The plots instead show
pulse shape and noise level, which only really hint at an improvement -
they don't actually demonstrate one.

That's not to say that there's anything wrong with the SB+ - I'm sure
that in reality it's quite the opposite. Consider the basic squeezebox
as a component, like a CD transport, and it makes a lot of sense to
build an audiophile component around it. Why reinvent the wheel?
