I just learned about the new DAC from Channel Islands, VDA-2, replacing
the VDA-1. Has anyone tried this new DAC, yet? At $600, it seems like
it may be a better value than the venerable Benchmark DAC-1, which I
know so many people here love.

Have owned a SB3 for only 3 days, but I'm impressed! I put myself slap
bang centre in the neurotic audiphool camp, primarily listen to vinyl,
(through tube amplification, of course ;-), don't have a lot of time
for the digital medium - it is a necessary evil with the lack of new
vinyl software

I get a kick of of audiophile quotes like this one. It basically
quantifies nothing.
FLAC files sounded subtly more homogenized through the midrange and
less airy and on top
One could argue that FLAC files sound more airy and on

All of these values are well below the audible level of jitter.
According to studies published by the Audio Engineering Society, jitter
isn't audible until around 20,000 ps.

I second this.
I have a worrying feeling that the developers want to finialise the
design before going public in a big way.
The interface for the SB is pathetic in comparison to the Sonos for
example even though the back end features wipe the floor with the
Sonos.
Keep in mind that Mr Joe

I do wish the GUI's were better, but I haven't contributed- and I liked
the price of the Squeezebox-
I definitely plan to do the upgrade but will wait until their results
are posted before buying. Besides, the way RAM prices are dropping, it
may be almost free by then!

I was also surprised that Stereophile picked the AirPort Express. I can
only assume they just haven't got around to reviewing the SqueezeBox.
There's no way that one would pick the AirPort over the SqueezeBox,
unless price is the only criterion, which it is obviously not for any
Stereophile
Just for fun, I did a search for squeezebox on the Stereophile
website. No links were found, but interestingly there were sponsored
links (I assume from Google or someone like that), one of which was
Slim Devices, and one was Sonos.

Okay, this has happened with several albums. I've tried rescanning.
I've even tried dumping the library and scanning anew. Here's what
happens:
1. On the Slim Server access window, the album's songs are displayed in
order. Great.
2.

Interesting. What is the equations that describe this?
