If you have a DAC built into your receiver you could try taking the digital out of both your CD player and your SB3 into the receiver's digital in using the same cable. see if your hear a difference then. Also, sounding "different" does not automatically equal sounding "better". For example, you may perceive a "difference" simply because of different volume levels. -- nelamvr6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nelamvr6's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26089 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
