I've just got my SB3 and am having good results feeding into a Sonifex Redbox DAC1 (£435)
Sonifex make broadcast equipment and one enterprising audio dealer got the company to make a more domestically acceptable version by lopping off the rack mount. Here's a link to Sonifex: http://www.audioatmosphere.com/AUDIO_SS/displayproduct.asp?UID=26032box/rbdac1_ld.shtml and to the page from the dealer's site (split from it's frameset): http://www.audioatmosphere.com/AUDIO_SS/displayproduct.asp?UID=26032 The dealer makes comparison with units costing to £3,500; I can't really vouch for this, but Stuart - the guy I dealt with - said the RB DAC1 gave the Benchmark DAC1 a good run for its money, and at half the price I gave it a go on an approvals basis. I kept it!! I read somewhere that if the SB3 had been made by an audio manufacturer they'd have tripled the price for it. I'm sure the reverse applies and the pro-audio broadcast market is pretty demanding and wouldn't like being ripped off by inflated prices. Anyway - this may help . . . My first post to the forum BTW. Lot's of good stuff here :o) -- morris_minor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ morris_minor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39892
