I have had it running for about 12 hours now. No question its a step
up from the DAC2...right out of the box, it is far more resolving,
transparent, more extended in the bass. At this point, it is not as

I'm not using the DAC3's volume control (am using a preamp), so I don't
really have a perspective on that yet. But since the DAC3 upsamples to
24/192, theoretically it has 8 available bits of resolution to use for
digital volume control without losing resolution, so I assume it would
be fine (as

I am a brandnew Squeezebox user and have a question regarding the

Should i connect it digital to use the DAC from Yamaha or analog to use
the SB3-DAC?
Thank you for answering,

In fairness to Sean, he didn't say that the SB3 couldn't be improved
upon. As I understood it, he said that in order to improve it in a way
that made reasonable sense in terms of cost/performance, one would
really know what one is doing. And even then, the

I don't understand the premise of your question.
Take a signal that looks like 0, 2, 3
then upsample it to 0,0,0,0, 2,2,2,2, 3,3,3,3 at four times the rate.
How does this allow the DAC to do anything differently?
No, it interpolates. So you get something maybe like: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2
