Re: [slim] Yet Another Volume Issue With a Squeezebox 3

Replacing your SB3's C16 and C20 capacitors is one of those things you
just have to do before shuffling off your mortal coil, like swimming
with dolphins. I've just done it, and I'm a better person for it. That
said, the technical view is that the DAC within the SB3 is of a certain
quality, and if it's better than your old SPDIF DAC then you may benefit
from getting it working again.

[slim] Yet Another Volume Issue With a Squeezebox 3

2018-03-11 Thread satkinsn

All -

Got up this morning to the right channel on my SB3 significantly quieter
than the left. After quick troubleshooting and a look here, I see it's a
known problem, requiring the replacement of some caps. (The SB3 is at
least a decade old.)

But I also have an old SPDIF DAC, so I dug it out, hooked up the TOSLINK
connection and was back in business. Sounds fine to my antique ears.

So is there any reason at all to fix the analog outs, other than a
compulsive need to have everything in spec?

s.
