While a hi-end audiophile version of the SB would be nice, I don't think it's practical for Slim Devices to get into it. Currently, the audio quality is already very good and there are many other things to work on (e.g. SW).
I think mods are the way to go. Some enterprising and technically competent person should buy a few SB2's, mess around with them and then try to develop mod packages. I'm sure quite a few audiophiles out there would be willing to have their SB2 modded. In the end though, it's still PCM and many audiophiles will prefer SACD and/or analog (vinyl records) for their serious listening. For me, it's SACD and I doubt any amount of hardware changes to the SB2 (or any other CD player, for that matter) will make it sound better than the SACD sound that I like. -- Aylwin _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
