The battery isn't an issue. You shouldn't leave the DAC on for more than 8 hours (10 max) to conserve battery life. You can't kill it in 1 session. New battery pack is about $70. I have a TT and I never forget to remove the arm after playing a record. Easy concept to apply to the dAck! If your interested in the dAck! you should contact Christopher Own - Mr dAck! He's very good at answering your questions or concerns and has experience with NAIM setups. The digital outs on the SB3 are excellent. Feed a good DAC and you have a top notch digital source, no question. The mods bring clear refinement to my ears. YMMV. To my ears (and my wifes) the SB3/dAck! 2.0 has greater resolution and subtlety compared to the CDX/XPS. Both have big expansive sounds and great rhythm. The SB3 combo makes live performances sound much more 'real.' If I only listened to techno & D&B I would quite happily live with the CDX/XPS for ever! -- sonofcolin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sonofcolin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9291 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31053 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
