Since you are asking in the Audiophiles section: Digital sources unfortunately sound very different to each other. The S/PDIF interface unfortunately embeds timing information in the data stream. (Google for "SPDIF jitter") Depending on what quality sound reproduction you/he wants there are a number of other issues that may arise as well (electrical noise, for example). Not to mention ease of use, where the SB should win hands-down. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23614 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
