Well, my system is downgraded quite a bit, used to have a Micro Seiki turntable, 5 channels with IMF RSPM and TLS80 transmissionlines, quite an awesome experience. Now I moved to a small apartment, have a Bryston B100 SST, my old Philips DVD 963SA, a Nakamichi LX 5 tapedeck in perfect condition (but not used at the moment), the SB3, Martin Logan Aeon I speakers and the Stax SRM-006t & SR4040 headphone system (Signature II ) My interconnects are Black Magic Revelation, maybe not known in the wide world, but they are highly respected, I use the same kind of cable for the 963SA, the SB3, and to the Stax system. The 963SA is set to oversample but I cant hear a difference from when its not. Well, the Arcam cd72 is a very respectable cd player isnt it ? I am a bit surpriced that you find the SB3 better, but well, its about personal taste. I wrote my comment because I was a bit embarrassed, in the beginning I was overjoyed by the SB3, thought it sounded much better than my 963SA, I just forgot to compare it with the cd player ! My comments about the room/speaker interaction would be that its actually a lot easier to hear the difference between SB3 and Philips DVD 963SA through the speakers. Here the dvd player sounds even brighter than experienced through the headphones. I sit very close to the speakers and they are way away from the sidewalls. I can sit very still and use the Bryston remote to switch back and forth. jdbaker, I will get back to you when I (hopefully) get the dac, I have very high expectations for it, as you always have with new equipment. Dont forget to buy the March issue of Stereophile if you can, here its tested..... The Bryston B100 SST has 2 Toslink and 2 SPDIF connections, is the Toslink the way to go then ? Anyway, the Bryston B100 SST is one trasparent piece of gear, you have absolutely no sense of the amplifier having any sound of its own, you feel you are listening to the source, and only the source. With my Martin Logans I also have the advantage to have extremely detailed music at very very low levels. That was also my no. 1 priority when I went searching for an amplifier for my speakers. -- 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
