Hi Skunk, Some good stuff there. Having read the links it makes a lot more sense, but I am far from expert in such matters!
First, my comment about no internal SuperReg was based only on the fact that I don't want to rehouse the SB3. If I can make one fit, ofcourse that would then be the favourite option. Otherwise I can locate one outside the box, but very near. Sean seems to be saying that the pecking order for SuperReg treatment should be DAC:5Vcc, then OpAmp 9V, then DAC3.3Vdd. For me (OpAmp removed) this suggests that inserting a SuperReg into the 5Vcc line will give me most of the available benefits. However, if I use an external SuperReg to give 5Vcc, it would make sense to also derive the 3.3Vdd as per the app note and power the DAC completely off-board. Sounds relatively straightforward. Just depends on where to attack the Dac supplies. Also, would need to think about pickup with extended supply wires and make sure grounding is done properly (re: note). -- parrydave *modded squeezebox 3/arcam cd92t/arcam a85/arcam avr300 dynaudio contour 1.3mkii/dynaudio focus 200c/mk k-4/rel q150 pioneer pdp-507xd/sky+/harmony 525* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ parrydave's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6079 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19822 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
