Hi Ron, No problem. I was out of town as well.
I had the chance to try a Mark Levinson 36s DAC with my SB3, and I found it to be a little light in the upper bass and lower midrange (~300-500Hz)compared to my Rega Apollo. The Rega had a warmer sound that I prefer. Comparing the Apollo with the SB3 analog out, I do notice a more 3-dimensional sound with the Apollo. The Apollo also seems to sustain the notes a little longer. Not a dramatic difference, but noticeable if you're paying attention. I'm searching for a DAC that will be a step up from the DAC in my SB3 to give me a sound comparable to the Apollo. The convenience of the SB3 is tremendous. Can you tell if the Lavry has a different tonality than your Rega? Rega Apollo --> VTL 2.5 preamp --> Classe 100W/chan amp --> Thiel 2.4 speakers. -- duke43j ------------------------------------------------------------------------ duke43j's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15911 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42797 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
