check your settings regarding file formats and volume.
volume should be fixed at 100% yes volume works the digital out to !
and no replay gain or similar.
You may just compare apples with oranges. the old source may simply be
louder.

Because volume is not 100%
Because you use replay gain wich in general lower the volume of most
music.
You should use a lossless file format such as flac.

Do not use bitrate limiting for the player as then everything will be
192kbps mp3 or what you have for a limit.

if using other lossless formats as alac or wma-lossles make sure that
the server side transcoding is not making mp3 of it !
The output of the SqueezeBox is 24bit how does the dac handle that ?

These players as a digital source can compare to anything (bit perfect
transfer proven many times), unless you want 24bit/96kHz then you must
go for the transporter, or of course the transporter has superior
analog circuits and DAC, so analog out from SB3 or SBR is ok I assume
but not the same as a transporter or an exclusive really good dac.

I use an SB3 into an Meridian G68J HT processor and it sound exactly
the same as my Meridian disc player (on CD material ).

which version of SC 7.3.3 ?
