using it with a Tri-Vista DAC, VAC Avatar SE, and Merlin TSM-MM's.
Soundstage is not a problem, though just a tad less than my transport.
I am expecting a Bolder modified SB3 in the next day or so, it will be
interesting to see if that made any difference.

Thank you for you replied. Actually I know I need to positing my
speakers to get the good soundstage. Just want to know is Squeezebox
has the potential to get good soundstage?

Speaker positioning is critical for deep soundstage. You have to
experiment with moving your speakers around relative to your listening
position. That, and anything else you can do to get better quality
sound out of your system...

I think Bludragon's advice is good. Rather than go "full-max" on the
amp output levels, set the amp to your personal max listening level
with the SB running at "fixed-output" or 40 on the digital output
scale.
That way you can run the SB digital volume level closer to 40 more
often and get bette
I'm going to stick with the digital volume control, and max out the the
amp volume. From what I've been reading here and elsewhere, the digital
volume control should not noticeably affect the signal, because it is
simply clipping the least signficant bits. Is that right?

FYI, I recently got one of these:

And without using an external DAC the difference between it and the

I am using SB2 with external DAC (DIY tube DAC), the music and sound is
fantastic. Better than my TEAC VRDS CDP very much. However, I think
that the soundstage is not deep enough. Is there any way to improve the
soundstage. I have tried both wav and flac format with EAC.

HSB 5-3 it's a Lambda 15W open frame unit. Here's the spec, you can
probably get units with lower ripple etc, but this sounds good to me.
brand Lambda
Manufacturer's part number HSB 5-3
Output Voltage 5V(dc)

I beleive the reason electrical coax spdif is often said to be better
than optical toslink spdif is due to the relativly low bandwidth of the
toslink transmitter and receiver. They were originally specced to have
enough bandwidth to support spdif data rates, however, the relativly

The CD and line level inputs should be identical electrically. (CD is a
line level source).
In your setup, theoretically the best sound quality will be obtained
with the squeezebox volume set to max. Once you reduce the volume by
6dB or so, you will start to lose dynamic range coming out of you
Paul, do you know the RS part number you chose?
