The only Modifications that i have to my Squeezebox is: 1. A Custom Linear powersupply. (Hammer is still running on the original) 2. A Digital isolation transformer on the Coaxial Digital output on the SB3. (Both me and Hammer have this Modification) When i discovered the problem or "effect" my SB3 was i original state.. Only the Custom Linear powersupply. I still hear the same effect through the unmodified Optical output on the SB3... I only tried the "digital isolation transformer" Modification to se if that fixed the problem... I was "satisfied" with the optical output in the firstplace. When i talked about remove the "isolation transformers" & "power cleaners" i ment the AC current 220V/50 HZ feeding my whole Stereo. Not removing the Digital isolation transformer inside the SB3. I still hear the same effect through the unmodified Optical output on the SB3... And is a External DAC a Modification ? Yes i think i propably not going to hear any differance or have much more difficult to distinguish between "good" and "Bad" sound. Running through the analog outputs on the SB3 and removing the "isolation transformers" & "power cleaners" (AC current 220V/50 HZ) And if i remove my Elac CL 4Pi Plus (A universally applicable omnidirectional tweeter) "Then my problems will ge gone". I just tried to get a point in the previous post. Not all people is running with an External DAC etc and probably and not hearing this effect. Or as you wrote in the previous post: "My system isn't very high-end at all, so it could possibly have been masked in the "digital out-->analog conversion-->speakers-->room effects" chain but I doubt that. " Quote: Good grief. All the people are "convinced that this is not a placebo thing" and that makes it NOT a placebo thing? If you haven't tested using blind or double-blind methods, thereby isolating knowledge of the test condition from the test, the results simply cannot exclude the placebo effect. My girfriend did a blindtest on me, i know this doesn´t prof a thing... It have to be "blind/double-blind" But you asked me to consider the possibility that the effect we are hearing is perceptual? I still believe "Sigmund Freud" has nothing to do with this... Quote: "You can't measure any difference so far but still insist there is a difference." Hammer and i Will try more measure later... I know this arguing is not leading anywhere, it´s just makes all of us involved angry, I really don´t want to fight. You guys at logitech have your belief, Me and Hammer & Co have ours. Anyone reading this thread and having the "know-how" and proper tools, and the time, please help us.
