Well, a stock SB3 (running ALAC) doesn't hold a candle to my Marantz 8300 universal. I have recently added a Musical Fidelity X-DAC, and while it has improved things quite a lot, it still doesn't come close to the Marantz.
With what I've compared it to on my reference system, the order of sound quality is like this: SB3 Stock Harman/Kardon HD7225 SB3 / X-DAC Marantz 8300 As to what the SB3 sounds like via its analogue outputs out of the box, I'd rate it close (although different) to my 5-year old Onkyo CD receiver. -- amey01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amey01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34233 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
