Maybe I should be more clear. Even if you bought a DAC, if the DAC does not have jitter-reduction, you will be hearing the effects of the transport jitter (SB3 is the transport in this case). Jitter in digital output can have a significant effect on the quality of the output. The whole spectrum gets affected by jitter. Ofcourse, certain, DACs like the Lavry DA10 have jitter reduction built in and so are immune to jitter at the digital input. Many people who are using external DACs with their SB3 have gotten SB3 modded for a better digital output. I have spent around $350 for power supply + digital mods from boldercables.com. It is money worth well spent from my point of view. -- SoftwireEngineer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
