I had my ecm8000 mic calibrated as well :-)
I made a plot of the calibration values compared to the ones that come
with the drc distribution (ecm8000.txt).
When using this calibration file with drc the sound becomes way too
bright. So I reversed all the values (plus - minus and vice versa) but
I'm thinking of getting a moodlabs Concept DAC, has anybody tried this
with their SB3?

Hi,
This is my first post here, so I wouldn't like to appear arrogant or
so, please don't misunderstand my remark.

they're different or not. That's the type of test

Because there are trade-offs between easy and powerful and/or stable.

For me the dream SB4 would be basically a SB3 WITHOUT the DAC but rather
with a better digital output (of the likes of the transporter, low
jitter, and most importantly 24/96).
If this is driven by an audiophile need, it might not be incompatible
with mass market requirements: look at the

True, but the DAC is likely a very small part of the cost of the unit -

Hi,
Sorry, just catching up on this. I'm confused about one thing. This
Farnell CPC that everyone is pointint to is a 230 Volt PSU - that's OK
for your standard US 115 volt outlet? Is there a different part number
for a 115 volt?
Thanks!
