I've had my SB3 a few months now, but just recently finally got around to comparing the same tracks played from cd vs. an apple lossless file over my squeezebox. To my amazement, the squeezebox sounded significantly better, on every track. I definitely found that the soundstage was deeper and clearer, the vocals all seemed to blend together much better, and the bass was better as well. Why?
I don't really have an audiophile setup, just middling gear, but in an acoustically treated room. I'm letting my receiver (Denon 2803) perform the D-A from both sources (SB3 and Denon DVD-2200), and I've made sure there's no EQ going on with either input. -- brclow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brclow's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7567 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27613 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
