(Yes, I know - expensive.) A composite video output of the scroll or rendered video still from SS would be fine to send to a TV, using cheap parts. Plugin that lets SS play CDs from a shared CD-ROM bay without ripping first. Adding linear power supply and using good interconnects on analog outs is enough to make my stock SB sound as good as any high end CDP or external DAC I have tried so far. Speakers and amplification are still the major influence on audio quality. If you think improving SB by 1% (i2s, or better internal DAC) will give you a big effect, you are wrong, it can only be very slight because the SB is already close to any other high end digital source that is reasonably priced. Improving amplification and speakers will give you a lot more benefit, as will room external correction. But those aren't cheap. -- richidoo richidoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3097 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24732 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Interesting. My understanding was that a primary concern is avoiding jitter correlated with the data signal, since uncorrelated jitter (due to thermal noise for example) is pretty white and typically just adds a bit to the noise floor. It certainly seems that isolating the clock and data lines should help with avoiding such correlations. I've seen examples, such as figure 9 here http://www.stereophile.com/reference/1093jitter/index2.html, where you can clearly see a spike in the jitter spectrum due to correlations with the digital signal. It would be interesting to see if an I2S implementation would get rid of that or not. How is the I2S connection to the internal DAC in the SB3 implemented? -- opaqueice opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24732 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

The easier option is to have the clock in the source, and that (plus some other stuff obviously) suffices to satisfy the standard, so you can say you have an I2S implementation. However, as Sean is saying, it's better to put the clock in the receiver, which is the higher level of I2S. In any case it's clearly a good idea to separate the clock from the data, as it avoids many potential problems.

I take the optical out of my SB3 into a Bryston preamp/processor, which has quite a decent DAC in it already. I never use the other outs. Most audiophiles who care about DACs already have bought their favorite in one form or another, for use with other audio sources; why put an exotic one in the SB3 that ONLY the SB3 would be able to use? I've have been overjoyed to go the other way: $100 less for no analog outputs, only digital ones. Or $100 more for only digital out and guaranteed, extremely low jitter, to rival the very best reclocked sources. And yes, a bigger display would be nifty.

Hum, I don't agree either! haha On the contrary, SlimDevices currently has only one version of it's hardware platform. They already have two modding companies that I know of (BolderCables and RedWineAudio) making money by taking that hardware platform to another level and there are certainly plenty of buyers of the SB that would have paid more for a audiophile version but do not send the one they bought to the modders for various reasons. So, in my opinion, there is a market and in my opinion, it would not cost much for SlimDevices to offer an audiophile version and they could increase their profit margin significantly on that version versus the regural version.

Slim Devices are obviously a committed group of audio/music enthusiasts and no doubt might be personally interested in some of these ideas.

Getting sidetracked by lots of different configuration desires from fringe users like us is not in their best interests. The mere fact that there are so many diverse preferred options within this one short thread is proof that there is no single "audiophile" version that they could rationally produce.

A better solution is to have a DAC very close to the SB, connected with an I2S or similar connection. This is better because I2S has a dedicated clock line. In plain language, it has several wires running running from the source to the receiver, and one of those carries a clock signal, while the others carry data. In contrast, standard SPDIF (like the SB digital out going to an external DAC) has only one wire which carries both the clock and the data. While clever and economical, this has the unfortunate effect of allowing the data to interfere with the clock and cause timing errors (that's jitter). The SB internal DAC is connected in this better way (it uses the I2S connection), but clearly the components such as the DAC chip and analogue stage could be upgraded, and so that's what I would want in an audiophile version. All that said, I suspect the differences in sound quality are pretty minimal, and what I'd really like to see first is a computer-based room-correction plugin for SS. -- opaqueice opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24732 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

I think than before SD or some other modifier give us a STOA digital transport, a lot of us technical geeks will migrate to fully computer based system with integrated room correction and some high grade multi channel sound card. I'm expecting this happened within one or 2 years. Some people are already there but the software and the setup are still to unfriendly for an average user. In this case the SB will serve only as a handy remote control (for choosing the music played) and display. The actual SB is perfect for this function!

There's been (many) other threads covering this very topic. My thoughts, briefly, are that an "audiophile" SB3 would cost well over $1000. Anything less, and it won't be considered "high-end" enough. Anyone not already satisfied with the SB3 and using an external DAC is probably not going to be satisfied by a $500 SB.
