Well, marketing price sums up all that. Does a device sold 70$ has the same "design" and "signal treatement" as a -say- 1000$ dac ? I bet no. So, each Device has a sonic signature in accordance to its price. And the relative price of the SB3 dac is (at most) 100$. If it had enough "design" and "signal treatment" as the Benchmark, it would probably be sold the price of the Benchmark dac. Did I understood correctly ? :) -- Themis SB3 - Denon 3808 - Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Themis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49316 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
