I have just hooked up my SB3 via digital optical cable to a Yamaha
RX-V457 reciever (yeah, I know it's not the greatest but I use it to
hook into my in-wall speakers that are in 6 rooms in my house) and I
was wondering if I should use the DACs in the SB3 (which I assume means

I am seriously considering applying the analog mod (removing opamp,
replacing caps, etc.). However, i'm curious, this probably has an
effect on the headphone output? If I take the left/right straight from
the DAC chip, the headphone output probably fails to function. Am I
correct?

Thanks for the reply. I would prefer leaving the headphone stage in
tact, as my amp doesn't has a headphone-out. If I would leave the
output stage in tact, but simply cut off the phono plugs, and take them
directly to the DAC (with caps in between ofcorse) would I still have a
major improvement?

I won't argue that. But do you cross your subs over at 40Hz?
I have one sub. Crossed over about 45 or 50 hz.

I was recently at a friend's house auditioning his Outlaw Audio LFM-1.
This unit is rated flat to 25Hz. We listened to a variety of music and
also to test tones.
My friend had the subwoofer positioned behind and to the right of us. I
believe he had it crossed-over at 80, or perhaps 100Hz. When

That is up in midrange area, so it isn't surprizing that
you could locate it.
Playing test tones was interesting. Unless they've heard a test disc, I
I am not trying to be clever, but should you use whichever sounds best
to you?
Look at it as follows. The DACs in both machines have to cost less than
$100. If you had a high end Yamy Z9 or something the answer would be
more obvious. An external DAC is also an upgrade option. For now, it

There's really no way to know, other than listening. But I doubt you're
going to find much difference without an equipment upgrade. You might
also try the digital coax output while you're experimenting. Some here
have commented it sounds better than optical on their systems.
Unfortunately,
Hi AF
Are you using the analogue out or spdif?

I descided to just go with the flow; Threw away the opamp, removed some
caps, and added some blackgate's.
And I must say
SO much improvement! all sharpness brightness is totally gone,
much more detail overall. A recommendation for everyone.

Thanks guys! I will try the coax as well and see what I think sounds
best...or I guess more importantly what my wife thinks sounds best :-)

I got the Dayton 10 today, and put it together. I must be lame, because
it took me a few hours. Figuring out the spikes took about 30 minutes.
Installing amp took at least 30 minutes, because the damn thing didn't

What's missing from this discussion is a sense of proportionality, not
seeing the forest for the trees. We could go back and forth all day,
