Well, sound is a personal thing. My observation was that I liked the

All it really requires is a fairly skilled DSP programmer to come up
with a vinyl simulator and we're done. Probably just needs a random low
frequency rumble adding, boost and blur the bass temporally, roll off
the treble and compress the dynamics to about 60db dynamic range and you
are *sorted*.

As a long time devotee of LMS I say stick with the SBT there's nothing
wrong with it, particularly as a digital source. Modify the sound to
your taste with an offboard DAC. The Chord FPGA-based DACs make a
noticeable difference, but I've gone with a Mytek myself.

thanks for the reply
does this improve the sound quality from what i have though or is just
the same? I am looking for an improvement

Neither i always try and improve the sound quality(the detail
+dynamics), if it costs more so be it but sometimes i have found out
that cheaper is indeed an improvement for example
What are the purpose of the change? To have a more expensive system or
some added functionality?

If you don't want to build it yourself then you can buy a pre-built Pi3
with DAC from here

You would need the Max2Play option (or swap the SD card out for
piCorePlayer) which then gives you a fully functional Squeeze device
which can either be cont
Did you try a pi3 with hifiberry? Simpel and pretty good sound quality.
You could use the touch than as controller.

Hi all,
so i am a long time user of the SBT (must be over 6 years currently
with EDO) i have used it with lots of the tweaks back in the day then i
just factory reset it and found it didn't really make much difference to
my ears! i have also used it with a few cheaper DACs(leema, MF & a few
