Thanks for making such a meaningful contribution to the thread and responding to my first post! I carried out blind listening of both and must admit I was amazed at how much better my old CD player was, (comparing CD to FLAC) but having read back through the posts on this site I see that the sound of a SB3 is comparable to a budget CD player so it's no surprise really. I guess it explains why so many squeezebox owners have modified their units and have seen dramatic improvements in sound quality, hence the introduction of the Transporter. However I suspect benh's SB3 could well sound better than the Arcam 10 because the function of the DAVE module was to provide surround sound. -- Warren ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Warren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27403 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
