Rather luddite I must be then, as I still prefer the sound from my external (non-os) dac compared to the SB's analog outputs. It's just a bit more articulate and less fatiguing. While I see the possibility of potentially less jitter with the onboard dac, I suggest to you that some folks may prefer the sound charateristics of specific dac chip types, and more importantly they may prefer the sound characteristics of their dac's analog section (i.e. that section after the dac chip). -Dan -- dwc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
