Thanx, you both pretty much answered my question (and another question which was "should I get a DAC with the SB3 ?"), so I'll get a SB3 and just enjoy the music, and I'll see next year if I can get even more out of it =)

Your ear is getting less sensitive, especially in higher frequencies, but it doesn't mean you'll be less likely to tell the difference between High quality sound and lower quality : It's actually your brain that does most of the job. Some people can't hear the difference between 128kbps mp3 and lossless, but it's probably not because of their ears, just that they don't know how to listen ^^ -- BlueScreenJunky ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlueScreenJunky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23614 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
