Brian, I have some high-res downloads that I have resampled to 48/24 - they sound fantastic via the SB3. I listened to SACD and DVD-A fairly extensively when they first appeared - the great new hope! - and... I'm left with a "so what" feeling about them, but of course YMMV. Blu-ray DVD vs normal is a no-brainer by comparison. I'm not convinced that 24/96 or higher will be available across the back catalogue for maybe 10 years...maybe never (for non-classical stuff anyway) The Stontronics linear supply from Farnell I use is great and about £18 from memory. Not sure Maplin do a suitable one. The SB does sound different to a Quad 77 (I have a friend with one of those).
