I've recently bought a Squeezebox Duet and have started ripping my cd collection. I use dBpoweramp Reference and rip to flac. For most cds I achieve an AccurateRip, so I suppose my rips are close to bit-perfect. I use an external DAC (Mission DAC5) between the SB and my amp.
However, I still find that the sound from the SB is flatter, more dull, less crisp and has less punch than the cd original. I have compared audio quality from the SB with that from my cd transport (Cambridge CDT One) by in turn connecting the cd transport and the SB to the same external DAC using the same digital cable. I bought the SB in the belief that the digital output would be equally good if not better due to less jitter than that from a cd player, so Im a bit disappointed. Can anyone see obvious flaws in my set-up/approach?
