O.K. I'm taking my chances posting this in the audiophile section
because the equipment I am going to discuss is not totally audiophile
quality.
I was looking for a way to sit at the computer late at night and not
disturb the rest of the family. The obvious answer is to use headphones
of course.
Here is what I posted on audioasylum.com about the SB3
-
I recently bought a SB3 after deliberating for a while whether to go
into Computer-based music or not. I was not sure about the SB approach
vs the USB approach. Meanwhile, my 1

I take it that this is a response to my second post in this thread.
Saying "I give up" doesn't contribute much. It would seem that you
believe that my understanding of what upsampling does is wrong. I'm
genuinely interested in finding out whether I've misi

Most of the classic Neumann's like the U87 or M50 fall off pretty
seriously. Now my KM184's go up high, but they aren't vintage.

I don't think it is possible to evaluate some of the aspects of sound
reproduction using headphones.
BTW, SB2?

Hi,
I also found the Yam DAC more pleasing, but in fairness I tend to use 7
channel mode for music so it may not have strictly been a fair test
(can't be bothered to rewire now)
