In the I2S standard there are two options (they might be called level 1
and 2 - I forget). The easier option is to have the clock in the
I take the optical out of my SB3 into a Bryston preamp/processor, which
has quite a decent DAC in it already. I never use the other outs. Most
audiophiles who care about DACs already have bought their favorite in
one form or another, for use with other audio sources; why put an
exotic one in the S

Well, somewhere far-far away, on head-fi land someone had a good
intention to do Lavry vs. Stello comparison... ;)
I guess I have no choice but wait...

Personally, I'm quite happy running my SB2 into a Benchmark 1.
Anything capable of beating it would probably be pretty expensive, and
I seriously doubt I'd drop the $$ on those kinds of diminishing
returns.

OK thinking about it, maybe just a transport would be best, in a small
heavy box, then we can choose our own DAC to suit our particular
tastes.
Mind you in saying that, I'm afraid I don't quite understand the hi end
transport side of things with jitter and stuff like that. The DAC1 does
this
I think than before SD or some other modifier give us a STOA digital
transport, a lot of us technical geeks will migrate to fully computer
based system with integrated room correction and some high grade multi
channel sound card. I'm expecting this happened within one or 2 years.

At least three versions as we'd need two versions with internal DAC,
one oversampling and one not.
Somehow, I don't hold out too much hope for this dis

My vote goes for the best possible digital transport version since I
also can not live without the digital room correction. Beside that I'm
triamplified so a stereo DAC is useless for me. This pure digital
transport version should be around 500-600$ and this will kill any CDP
transport on the eart
By the way, I'm not trying to reach an agreement on what "we" want for a
audiophile SB. I'm just trying to generate a number of ideas that
SlimDevices management can use to better "position" a potential future
product. Also trying to show SlimDevices that there is an interest for
a "high end" Sq
OK, two versions: a player with a high-end DAC and a transport without
the DAC. I'd go for the latter as I could't do without the room
correction on my pre-amp.

Yep, put me down for a hi end internal DAC, just started researching
them, and have been ponderig how on earth I would compare a RWA or
Bolder modSB to say a DAC1, in London
Ooo and in a nice heavy little box too, so my IC's don't hold it in mid
air.
