Good point although probably uneconomical.
Listen to this though: Why don't you just get an external
DAC...although the analog outputs sound good, I tried my SB3 with my
Quad CD-P (24/192 upsampling - inputs) and it sounded much
bettertighter sound and the highs were much more accurate.

How about Quad 11L??? I have a pair connected to an Audible Illusions
pre/Quad 909 power and they sound excellent. I love them so much that I
bought another pair for the bedroom (where SB3 is used)

I was thinking about this too the other day, what do you think about
having a new replay gain mode, similar to Smart but which doesn't use
replay gain on albums? That way you'd get replay gain when playing
random (which is when you need it most) but if you play an album you
get it full whack - jus

I'm using 6.2.1. A lot of the tracks seem to have over 6dB of gain
reduction. Anyway, I've turned it off for now and am very happy with
the sound quality.
Thanks

So, I've been messing around again this afternoon and have got a little
closer to figuring out the root cause of this problem. It appears not
to be the Slimserver per se, but appears instead to be the act of

I'm sure that they have. The question is asked frequently.
Since I don't work for SD, this is only a guess, but
there are lots of reasons:
1) some of the mods, like
Has Slim Devices considered offering a higher priced version of
Squeezebox that incorporates as "standard equipment" the modified
elements that people seem to agree are beneficial to achieving higher
sound quality - like improved power supply, improved DAC, etc, etc? It

I think this really depends on your dac. I can tell the difference
between different transports. But then my dac has a simple spdif input
receiver [very common crystal 8412] with standard loopfilter - this only
attenuates jitter above 25Khz. Adding a new clock to an old cd
transport was noticab

Right now only 24/48 is supported.
96Khz support is listed as an enhancement request:
