Hey, I'm no audiophilanthropist, just pointing something out, hence my "not to shoot your ears down" comment! I also acknowledge the fact that you use the AMPS DAC rather than the Denon's. Whilst your sentiment about the digital stream *should* be correct, there are many factors that influence the quality of the stream - just check out our very own audiophile forum or google on the subject. Who knows the quality of the jitter on the denon or use of oversampling etc??!! dwilliams01;277468 Wrote: > I've got a Dennon DVD 3910 and when I first got my SB3 I did some > side-by-side and blind tests.

This is just the sort of thing I was getting at.. :) Agreed, in the end its all about the music!
