Hi Pat,
The real trick is dithering the data back down to 16 bits.
Just truncating the data (either double, single floating,
or long integers) is clearly audible.
H...clearly audible? Can you elaborate? According to Craig Maier
at Diamond Cut the worst you'd see for 16 bit red book
any signal below the noise floor is of no value - - - thus anything
below 60 dB is useless
Huh? That was funny, that..
A simple test could be deviced to truncate all information under -60dB
(dithered, if he wishes), and then see what it would sound like.

Hello fellow audiophiles,
I'm now a proud owner of an SB3, even got a Cascade linear
supply on order. I plan to tweak it further adding low ESR
caps etc. but I'm not in a rush now. I'm done ripping my music
collection to harddrives, too.
What I want to say is that the SB3 is truly an amazing
Mike,
Can you let me know where you have ordered the power supply from
Cheers

yes I replaced a £12k Linn CD12 with an SB2. The CD12 was fantastic - so
is the SB2 (+MF DAC some other bits and pieces - I suppose I replaced
a £12k CDP with about £1,500 of bits - but I'm still in the money
by about £5k after selling the CD12...and there is NO comparison in
terms of

You're pretty much right. I've decided to go DAC-less. The stock SB3
through a terrific system sounds, well, terrific.
So, are you selling the Lavry?

Sure, if the signal is at 100% all the time... Actually, even his
example is wrong, as the signal has
