The best advice is to listen to both and decide for yourself. The same DAC chip can sound very different depending upon the surrounding engineering.
Do bear in mind, though, that unless the Sony has a "direct" mode, it will convert the analog signal from the SB to digital, then back to analog, and you will be using the Sony's DAC. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59297 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
