Correct - although you still need the analogue filter, it's much a much
less demanding spec.
OK, just to make sure I've understood this correctly. Say we have a
44.1kHz signal. Putting it through a non-oversampling DAS, the repeated
spectra start at 44.1kHz. If we

I think it's really a matter of semantics. Oversampling is performed
solely for the purpose of reducing the harmful effects of brickwall
filters. Upsampling is really a form of sample rate conversion, and is
necessary for systems that have asynchronous timing (i.e. input and
output clocks are
You can see what my current system is in my sig.
My current upgrade plans for the next 6 months or so are:
1. GIK acoustics corner bass traps (maybe home brew if I can get some
705 cheaper, but it doesn't look like I can).
2. Rel strata subwoofer (I think the current rev is 5).
3. Maybe some

Have you looked at Real Traps?
Ethan is a good guy and his stuff is better looking than anything I can
make, and not all that expensive.
3. Maybe some treble

Hi, i've just had an SB3 for some weeks now, and in fact it's the only
audio source that I use right now. The improvemnt in sound quality made
me think that my amplifier is now the weakest part of my setup (old
cheap sony 5.1 receiver) - and therefore, i'm considering buying a new
amplifier. But
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitely doing the room stuff first,
no matter what. The back wall is already covered with bookshelves.
I was thinking of putting the bass traps behond the speakers. The thing
about the GIK traps is that they're 140 instead of 350-- which makes
them appealing.

Good idea.
Can you recommend connecting it directly, without any additional volume
control? I've read that somebody warns against this (blows speakers if
volume is set too loud etc)
Yes.
With anything connected
Hi, I'm just wondering about how the Preamp Volume Control attenuation
works.
I can see that it only impacts the analog outputs, so my first guess
was that it was using some kind of analog volume control, controlled by
the slimserver...
But then i read about all these guys noticing a diffent

There is nearly nothing analog in the SqueezeBox.
Its a digital box. Sean and others can correct me, but
I would expect

It's called the placebo effect. If you can only hear (or measure)
something like this in the absence of scientific controls, then it's
your imagination.
It works exactly the same way that a sugar pill can ACTUALLY CURE all

Yes the CEO warns

The preamp attenuation feature should not be thought of as a safety
net. A glitch, that might cause white noise for example, would likely
be at full volume and not the desired attenuated volume.
So if you want to go the direct to power amp route, you need an
external attenuator,
