For starters SS presents bit perfect data to the SB3 which in my opinion eliminates the possibility of mechanical error introduced by ANY player. Advantage - Slimserver/Squeezebox. . -- haunyack Transporter -> B&K Reference 200.2 -> Vandersteen 3A Signature. (Listening room) RWA (Analog) SB3 -> Rotel RB 1070 -> B&W Matrix 805. (Bedroom) Fridgidare -> Mirror Pond pale ale -> easy chair w/remote -> irritated neighbors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haunyack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37447 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
