Possibly, I was told (and as far as I can see looking at the specs) that the AVR350 shares the same spec Wolfson DAC chips as the DacMagic, but the AVR280 has a slightly lesser spec version. I also presume there is more going on inside a dedicated DAC compared to the onboard circuitry inside the amp(?). I haven't compared my SB running through the DacMagic compared to the AVR280's (will try it tonight!), but I did compare my CD player when I first connected, and the CD sound was definitely better going via the DacMagic compared to a digital connection into the amp. -- swarduk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ swarduk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57314 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
