Yes, I find the SB3 a touch flat and uninvolving, especially when compared to thr Transporter. However I think I remember Patrick Dixon who sells a hacked/modded SB3 as a SB++ (www.at-tunes.co.uk) saying that one of the the mods they did was to increase the level of the input signal to the SB3 DAC (I may have got this entirely wrong but it was something very simple like this). He expressed surprise that the SB3's level was so low. I wonder whether Logitec might take some leads from the simple mods At-Tunes have done with the SB3 to produce a better sounding and not hugely expensive SB4. Everyone I know who has heard the SB++ says that it sounds great.
