Did you do a before and after test ? Anyway, I am suddenly in doubt ! I was wildly impressed with the SB3 in analogue mode when I got it 2 weeks ago, saying to everyone that it was much better than my Philips DVD 963SA player with LCAudio mod (AD8066 opamps, 2 x XO3 clocks, Black gate capacitors and AD1955 converters) but now, tonight I compared the two through my Stax Signature II headphones. The Philips plays exceptionally well for the money, it has maybe a slight lift in the upper midrange that makes it sound a little lighter than the SB3 and its Burr-Brown devices, but its not noticeable all the time. I am having a very difficult time hearing a difference between the two..., have I maybe missed some adjustments in the SB3, or ? The SB3 sounds ruler flat. I was playing Bruce Springsteens "The Seeger Sessions". I have a Bryston B-100 SST amp, and looking forward to the test in Stereophile magazine March issue, it should be very good i was told by a Bryston representative. Hope they comment on the build in dac, because I consider putting this option in my amplifier. I have seen other raving words about this dac in the B-100..... Or, maybe I should start with a Welborne power supply for the SB3 first ?? -- Anne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32740 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
