I have an Elpac power supply, but otherwise the SB2 is unmodded. Am currently using my SB2 in my office system together with a modified Zhaolu 2.0 DAC with good results. The analog-outs on the SB2 in that system (Focus Audio FS-68SE monitors, Bel Canto Pre3/S300 electronics) sounds a bit thin and unengaging to me. My Transporter in my reference system sounds terrific on its own, but the Dodson DAC is still IMHO a level above. Note that it took quite a bit of system setup time (particularly room treatments and speaker positioning) to finally get to the level of performance where I was able to tell the difference between the Transporter and the Dodson with relative ease...prior to getting things "just right", the differences were surprisingly small... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30530 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
