Hi Flash, Power cords on transports can make huge changes on the sound, and I have found on my SB3 that various power supplies change the sound even when using the digital out into a Genesis digital lens performing buffering and re-clocking. In my case, since I am buffering the digital out, I imagine it could be due to a reduction in noise being injected back into my other components from the SB3. Before I had the lens, I ran the SB3 into a Theta TLC jitter box, and then into my (at the time) Theta Pro Prime IIA DAC. The power supply for the SB3 made a much much larger difference then.
No digital transport makes zeros and ones, they create fluctuations in voltage on their output. This analog signal is then intrepreted by a reciever, which then has to decide when the signal is beyond some voltage long enough to be signalling "high" or "low". I'd suggest trying a few cheap ideas and see if you can hear an improvement. In my case, I got a full rack-size HP DC laboratory power supply for $40 from a friend. If you hear an improvement, sweet, if not, that's good to know too. Always let the experiment and your ears be the final arbiter :) P.S. digital cable upgrades may also be very audible in your system -- jfeldt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jfeldt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78938 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
