A non-oversampling DAC (digital to analogue converter) is a DAC that converts the digital signal to an analogue one, without using any 'fancy' digital signal processing. It's a fairly old technology, but many people feel that the gains from newer technology DACs are outweighed by the side effects from the 'fancy' signal processing. As ever, YMMV.
IME, NOS DACs do tend to take the edge off the treble, and are generally very good in the midrange, so connecting one to the digital output of your SB3 may give you a sound that's easier to live with. A PSU replacement may also help. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31477 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
