Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Squeezebox plus, does it still exist?
Thanks for all the info. I am actually more interested in the digital output of the SB3+ since I already got a very good DAC (PS Audio Ultralink II). I'll certainly give the SB3+ a serious thought ! -- tingtong5 tingtong5's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9671 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49942 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

A separate box (with wooden ends), very heavy, and with a bleedin' great toroidal transformer stuck in it. Anyone would think that AT-Tunes had taken a leaf out of the the Naim book.

Yes but my comment was on the analogue outputs because I can't comment on a comparison of the digital outputs because I didn't do a side-by-side comparison. ;-) As is pointed out above, the digital output of the SB+ is not the same as a stock SB3. -- Nuuk Nuuk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4844 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49942 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Tingtong, I don't want to do Patrick (at-tunes) out of a sale, but I know that you are 'up' for a bit of tinkering so have you considered the SB3-I2S-DAC option with your SB3? http://home.socal.rr.com/audio_gestalt/default.htm -- Nuuk Nuuk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4844 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49942 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
