After a year of listening bliss, the last 2 weeks my SB3 started to hang
while playing net radios (Smoothlounge.com), requiring reboot by
unplugging the power cord (the power button hold-down could not reset
it as you normally do). On top of all this, every once in a while,
listening to my music library (WAV format) a loud pop (very sharp
potential tweeter killers) would appear and as I rewind/replay it did
not re-occur, this tell me it's electrical spike, not embedded on
datastream and obviously on songs that previously played just fine.
Am fairly well-versed in PC stuffs, always defrag my drives, using
wired SB3 w/ 100mb/s ethernet and Netgear WGT624v3 router which also
offer wireless. I did not do any config changes to either my PC or
Slimserver when these problems appeared. The outboard DA converter
tested fine using my CD player, so the problem appeared to originate
from the PC/Network/SB3 routes.
Any help or potential clue much appreciated.

Since you're using an external DAC the data is only converted to analog
outside the SB3, would a 'power spike' affect the digital data stream in
such a way? I would try using the SB3 without the external DAC for a
while to eliminate that. This seems a better test to me than playing
your CD player over it.
A music library in WAV format and you always defrag your hard drives?
You sound like someone prone to superstition ;)
