[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Upgrade SB3 Power Supply with outboard DAC?

[Phil Leigh]

There is no difference in sound quality between server side and client
side FLAC decoding IMHO. In theory (but I haven't tried) all lossless
formats should sound the same (ie good).

>From personal experience:

1. Linear PSU with analogue outs is big improvement over stock
2. Standard PSU with external DAC is big improvement over stock
3. Linear PSU with external DAC is big improvement over stock and
smaller (but noticebale) improvement over mods 1 and 2.

ALAC and FLAC show no difference in sound quality but FLAC uses less
server processing, lower network bandwidth and added SB3 functionality.
