Let me recap what user creativepart is stating. Ran SlimServer on a Mac Mini that connected wirelessly to a SB3. Then tried using an external DAC with the SB3 using the optical output of the SB3. Then connected the Mac Mini directly to DAC using an optical connection. States how much better Mac Mini, running iTunes, is when connected directly to DAC. Acts petulant when claims are questioned. I think creativepart is disingenuous because the optical cable between a Mac Mini and the DAC cannot be the same as what was used for the SB3 to DAC connection. The Mac Mini uses a dual purpose audio output that will work with an electrical connector as well as an optical connector and this physical connector is not the same as those on a SB3 or the vast majority of audio/video components. My conclusion is that creativepart had some reason to make claims that weren't factual so I am choosing to ignore what was said. -- Kiwi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34592 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
