Hi, would you care to do a blind test SB3 analog out vs. Citypulse? Could you describe the differences. I have a similar DAC and I'm curious abut your opinion. thks, K. -- slimkid The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43046 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
