Afraid this is a "no -win" situation for me. My efforts for "Affordable Audio" (we are al volunteer by the way) requires me to keep a decent system for comparisions. If the euipment is budget level, then people aruge that I cannot properly evaluate gear due to the fact that I do not know what "good stuff" is or have it on hand for comparison. The other side says that the gear I have on hand is too expensive, and not in spirit with the title of "Affordable Audio". So what would you want me to say. My goal is to use the SB as essentially a transport. My DAC accets only RCA in, so that pretty well sets my requirements. Since the SB offers RCA digital out it appears to be a good match. Since I am comparing it to a early 90's era JVC CDP which cost me a total of $150(thats affordable isnt it?) then it should be fair comparison. And both units get to use the same digital cable. I am here to find out the correct wy to get the SB to its potential. And my computer skills are rudimentary at best. Pleas be patient with me as I learn what I need to know.
