Well I think I'm getting closer to the SB now. Thanks for your input guys. I just bought myself an external DAC (an MHDT Paradisea) and I've done some testing against my CPD (an Arcam CD23T). Using the Arcam as a full unit transport/DAC it is significantly better then using my Paradisea fed by an optical out of my Audigy soundcard. However, when I use the Arcam as transport, then the Paradisea DAC is different but as nice if not nicer then the Arcam's internal DAC. This demonstrate that using my portable PC with Audigy soundcard as a transport is no good against a reputable CDP transport. So I have to get a new transport that will be at least equivalent to my CDP and hopefully the SB3 will do the job!
