Re: [slim] Which Burr-Brown DAC is better - PCM1748 (SB3) or PCM1690 (Onkyo 709)?
Mnyb;670015 Wrote: 12. Try for for yourself, most of the sound quality is the implementation not the DAC chip itself , a DAC is much more than the chosen chip set. This ^^^ I might also add that better is highly subjective and depends on everything from one's musical tastes, to your choice of speakers and amp, to the range of your hearing. Case in point: I LIKE bright. This is probably because I'm over 50 and my upper range hearing isn't what it used to be. It may also be because I love acoustic jazz and chamber folk rather than techno and other bass heavy music. Finally, your first good DAC will color your opinion of all the others that may come, so do the research (HeadFi is a good start, just read ALL the reviews) and spend the money to get a good one. -- Lewis Moon Lewis Moon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32497 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91613 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Need to replace the SB3....which?
Well, my old SB3 gave up the ghost. First I dropped it and blew the display, but because I run it wired to cut down on interference, I still could run it with my android tablet and Squeezecommander. Last week it wouldn't connect (couldn't find it). I tried rebooting everything and unplugging and replugging the SB3 but nothing works. Given the blown display, it's time for another. I can't decide between another SB3 or a Duet receiver. I like having the unit hod...without the blue light and I also like doing the controlling on the tablet or my laptop. However, sound quality and build quality are a must. I ran the SB3 through a Beresford TC-7520 DAC and loved it and will probably use the same type of set up. Any suggestions?

Re: [slim] Need to replace the SB3....which?
I wondered about the tough set up w/o display. To be honest, yes the touch looks like the right choice, but I really would rather NOT have the display. In this day and age I see no reason to have another display cluttering up the view space when it can be controlled by other units. When my SB3 display went dead I hid the unit behind the receiver and liked it that way. -- Lewis Moon Lewis Moon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32497 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91062 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The screen will then only be active when you use the remote or the touchscreen. If you use some other user interface, it should never display anything. Uhh...small things hide much easier than big things. I only have so much space. I guess I really want the Duet. With pretty much ALL of the new video, etc units (roku) being designed with a small set top box and on screen set up, I wonder why Logitech is still bucking the trend and going with such a large unit.

[slim] ACK! I dropped my SB3!
Well, I screwed the pooch: I knocked my beloved SB3 off the stereo rack while I was wiring a new receiver. It powers up (red light in the Toslink bay) but it has no display. I figure I'm functionally screwed. Any chance of recovery? Anyone doing affordable repairs? If not, I'll need a new one. I loved the SB3...what is the consensus on the best audio bang for the buck player otherwise? I never really realized just how much I relied on my SB3.

aubuti;580124 Wrote: Sorry to hear about that. It is worth opening it up. If you are very lucky, maybe you only jarred the wireless card loose. That can happen with far less drastic drops, and if it's loose it can mess up more than the wireless. For example, it could be the source of your display problems. It's certainly worth a shot. Logitech is no longer doing out-of-warranty repairs, and I haven't heard of anyone else doing them either. If it turns out to be something that can't be fixed, or can't be fixed for less than $100-150, then you should seriously consider replacing it with the SB Touch. Whether or not you like the LCD touchscreen, the Touch is a worthy successor to the SB3, with some significant improvements in audio quality. I've had it completely apart (card out and everything) and back together. Nothing. I've gone over the solder joints with a magnifying glass and a probe and I couldn't pick up anything.

Open up a web browser on the netbook and enter the address http://server_ip:9000/ , BUT instead of putting server_ip, you put the IP address of the the desktop that is running Squeezebox Server. So if the desktop's IP address is 192.168.0.3, you would type http://192.168.0.3:9000/. This tells the netbook to connect to the mini web server that runs as part of Squeezebox Server on your desktop. If you don't know the IP address of the desktop you can find out, but the exact steps depend on the operating system. If it's Windows you can open a command window and type ipconfig (without quotes) and it will tell you the IP address. Depending on how your network and desktop are set up, you might be able to connect using the name of your desktop.
