The stock SB3 has some jitter which really shows up in the listening. I would describe the sound as 'soft' and 'blurred' (although like everything in audiophila is relative). Atleast, when compared to my Philips 963sa. I sent it in for digital mods to Boldercables.com and this improved to a great extent. So unless, you have jitter reduction built into the DAC, you are not getting the maximum performance. Maybe this softness is what makes people desire a 'brighter' sound. One should also try a better supply or power conditioner or better interconnects before adding more components to the chain.
