Buying a *much* better DAC > > R.Robin, I simply often noticed that, each time someone shows some dissatisfaction about the SB3's dac the "usual" answer is : a. Get a 1000$ (or more) dac, b. Get a Transporter In my humble opinion, the facts are the following: - SB3 costs 300$ - in these 300$, you get bundled a network card, a drive, a dac, a remote controller, some software (squeezecenter and sb) plus some services. - The dac part of all that is about -let's say- 50-70 bucks.
We get a -pretty- good 70$ dac. Did I get it all wrong ? :p Obviously, sebp is right about speakers' upgrade.
