The only way to know is to listen to a stock SB side by side with a modded one.
Any modder should be wiling to send you a demo unit to listen to and you can decide for yourself. If you level match the the 2 you can switch back and forth on your pre amp until you don't know which is which. If you still hear a dif, select the one you like and then look at your pre amp inputs to see which one. Do this a number of times. If your choices are consistent you will have your answer, if your choices are inconsistent, you will have your answer :-) With the digital out I heard no improvement from the Bolder modded SB > a LavryDAC10 or into a Transporter. IMO the digital mods are not money well spent. I "thought" I heard a slight improvement with the analogue out but it still didn't compare to the Lavry or the TP. IMO save your money for a good DAC and get a stock surplus power supply. Have fun deciding :-) -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32739 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
