Hi ccrome2,

Could you please tell me what is considered "proper" anti-aliasing
filters? I am thinking to get a Harman Kandon stereo receiver (DH-3390)
for squeezebox radio, hoping it may improve my music experience with
Squeezebox. Now I am using my consumer-grade Philips home theater
receiver with Polk Monitor50 speakers. Do you think the 3390 has a
proper filter? It would be too costly to get another squeezebox
receiver and HK 3490 with digital inputs - and the result may not even
be better than the low-end receiver?

Here is the manual of 3390 with
specshttp://www.esotericsound.com/Electronics/HK_3390_OWNERS_MANUAL.pdf
Some people complain the device let any bass signal input so it may
sound boomy. It does have separate subwoofer outputs though.

Thank you
