Hi, I've got a SB3 and I'm very satisfied. But, I just replaced my whole stereo to the room where my computer is. And I bought a new motherboard (Asus P5B) with onboard audio and a s/pdf output.
So far, I connected the SB3 via toslink to an Arcam DAC. Now I can also connect the Arcam directly to the s/pdf of the Asus (thus bypassing the SB3). What do you guys think: is the s/pdf of the SB3 better than that of the Asus? I just did a small listening comparison. There seems to be a slight difference, but I'm not sure. Is there a technical reason why there should (or should not) be a difference between the two s/pdf signals sent to the Arcam DAC?
