Being a home cinema amp, it has digital inputs as well as analogue. You can therefore use either stereo RCAs, in which case you use the SB3's DAC and should put your amp in analogue direct mode, or you can use a digital coax cable (also will be RCA, but is a different cable design), in which case you will be using the DAC in your amp.
The Arcam amp will only work in analogue (i.e. the former). The best sound? Whichever sounds best! Not trying to be facetious, but it really is down to you which you prefer, there's unlikely to be an absolute winner. In your situation I would go to http://www.bluejeanscable.com/ and get a stereo audio cable and a digital audio one. They're all decent and great value, and it'll allow you to see which you prefer without spending serious money. -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, EAR V20, Living Voice OBX-R2s plus some other stuff SB3, Charlize, Harbeth HL-P3ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46921 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
