The speakers are Monitor Audio GR10s - so reasonably revealing for the size. There is an improvement from the onboard DAC - probably not enough to justify the inclusion if I did not already have the NOS DAC around. As I mentioned earlier, if I was starting from scratch I would have gone for something with clock integration and possibly i2s. > > If you were doing it again, would you get a used SB2?

However, the white SB3 at $249 was a good deal - especially with the shipping. I probably would have paid as much for a used SB2, all in. -- Jitterbug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jitterbug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40655 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
