Are you running digital into your receiver with both SB3 and CD player? I've heard stuff like this in the studio where we had wordclock issues between pieces of gear. Since SACD doesn't put out a digital signal (muted, by design) you're forced to listen via analog inputs.
If so, I'd look at the digital input of your receiver or try replacing a digi cable to see if it changes. It could be the D/A of your receiver. Try listening analog out of the SB3 to see what it's like. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49792 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
