The SB3 I was using for the above tests is a stock SB3. The one installed in the main system has definetely been modified. I have a DIY DAC which has two very low jitter oscillators running at the same frequencies as the crystals in the SB3. I run these clocks into the SB3 where they replace the original crystals. I then take the digital signals going to the DAC chips and bring them into the DAC. They go into a FPGA which separates the left justified stream into two 1 channel streams, which go through a reclocker run by the local clock and on to the 1704 DAC chips. So I'm not using either the analog or digital out from the SB3. Its interesting to note that the analog outs sound much better in this configuration, presumably from the lower jitter clocks.
