The SB3 is known for it's low jitter and extremely good clock. The AV-710 is a cheap $30 card used for only digital out, with poor specs. And uh.. I am not using either's DAC. I use an external DAC, as mentioned in posts previous. -- akwok ------------------------------------------------------------------------ akwok's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2298 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18158 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
