In my humble opinion, derived from owning/auditioning such items, digital sources from £70 DVD players to £400 dedicated CD players sound very similar.
That being said, there's something about the SB3 that is much better than my old Arcam Alpha 7SE CD player. When the 7SE was auditioned against it's replacement, the Arcam CD73, the dealer was unable to spot any differences, and reckoned I'd need to spend £1,000 to significantly better it. In my opinion, the SB3 does just that - better soundstage, more detail, a "cleaner" sound in general. All subjective of course... -- gw43 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gw43's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34233
