I tried a Shek DAC, which cost a bit over £150 IIRC, and it certainly changed the sound; it soundstaged better and was smoother, but lacked a bit of punch. If that's the kind of change you want, it can help.
I'm now trying an Ack DAC, which seems very good. I got it used for £140 (retail in the UK is £750!), and it is a real step up from the SB3; in many ways it is better than my SB+. IMO you probably need to spend a bit more, but keeping track of ebay can be worthwhile... -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, EAR V20, Lowther Big Fun Horns with PM6As Living Voice OBX-R2s stuck in a corner looking lonely SB3, Charlize, Harbeth HL-P3ES Whoops I seem to have bought a record player... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54783
