No argument here. The standard sucks. RedBook was designed without an expectations that microcontrollers and microprocessors would exist. Let alone that the entire 700 MB of data could fit easily into flash memory. But I see no probability that it will ever be fixed. The technology manufacturers take the failure of SACD and DVD-A as meaning that there is no future in better sound quality. And the mass acceptance of MP3, XM, Sirrius, etc. confirm that quality does not matter. Back to the topic, my SB2 to a Benchmark DAC-1 sounds great. I don't have a SB3 to compare it to. I used to have fairly high end CD players and the SB2/Benchmark sounds better and is imcomparably more convienent. I listen to more music. And that is all that matters. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
