I think the SBT can probably do better with better parts quality, clocking circuitry, power regulation and isolation (although I am using a custom made linear supply already) and better isolating (RF and vibration) casework. I am not sure if the Esoteric reclocks incoming spdif (it most likely does). It can also do async USB, but only with drivers installed, so probably won't work with the SBT. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eduardoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100850 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
