It depends. But most folks either mod their SB3 or get an external DAC such as the Benchmark DAC-1, or a Larvy, etc. > or is it designed to improve the digital outputs (optical, coaxial) for > an external dac to be attached to, so the external dac gets a nicer > signal? If you use the digital output, you are not using the DAC chip inside the SqueezeBox. Most quality external DAC units clean up the signal on their own, so you are pushing into Department of Redundancy Department areas. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
