All, FWIW, I recently began replacing the stock PCM1748E with the PCM1748KE. The KE version has 6dB improved Dynamic Range and SNR, as well as improved THD and channel separation specs. I now do this on all SB2s that I mod (except for those who do not want to use the analog output). I posted about it yesterday over here: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=21539
I'm not sure if there are any other dac chips that can be used in place of the 1748 w/o a board respin and/or SW changes. Sean? Thanks, -- Vinnie R.
