A comment on the Squeezebox SB3 signal to noise ratio; Ive been using the SB3 fed directly into a McIntosh 352 amp and it sounds really good. One observation that I made was that the power meters on the amplifier were not at zero when powered on. See below:

After unplugging the SB3 from the amp the noise was gone and the meters went to zero. I suspect the noise is coming from the SB3 power supply and appearing at the analog output. I plan on substituting a lab supply and seeing if the noise disappears. This noise is not noticeable during music playback and is not a big deal but does show an area of possible improvement. -- Hwirt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hwirt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63394
