I've never heard (or even seen) an arcam, the reviews look very good, but it is only a $1200 receiver. It is very hard to know if it actually should sound better than a SB2, since the SB2 uses a Texas Instruments PCM1748 DAC chip, and it seems Sean and company took care in the design. > errrrrmm any settings I may need to check?

It would be terrible to do testing while the slimserver is transcoding the audio to something evil like MP3 -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
