I am convined as I have tried it! My SB3 feeds through a $100,000 hi-fi system and the move to a linear PSU was very revealing. Made a significant change to the sound (for the better) and continued to improve as the PSU 'burned in' (and no, I did't want to believe it either). Standard supply

I'm cheap so I simply plugged in the SB's power supply to a different outlet. The other equipment is connected to a cheap filtered AC surge supressor strip. I figured this way, any possible switching artifacts would not enter the rest of the system :-) -- crooner

Hmmm...I just saw one on Audiogon. If that's the one you're talking about, you better get it before I do :) Seriously, though, I think those are supposed to be pretty nice. The only caveat is that the output voltage is rather high (7 V) on the stock unit, although from the description, I think

hehehe yeah that's the one! I also read about the highish output. I hope it's modded to reduce it to the 2 volt standard... The cosmetics are nothing to write home about. The chinese DAC-60 wins in the looks department. Still, at half the price it's mighty tempting! -- crooner

Apparently the Digital Dialogue has been superceded by a MKII version making this one obsolete according to the guy in Taiwan who builds them. -- crooner crooner's Profile:
