Excellent post. One thing: without analogue attenuation (ie, moving the jumpers) with, at least in my experience, a 26db gain amp, there is a lot of volume. To me, all the way to the left should be silence and all the way to the right should be very loud but not wall-smashing. I experimented

Nice speakers, by the way -- talk about engineering that works toward getting the room/speaker situation right from the start. Really, there is no need to go nuts. I don't have one square inch of foam in my room -- and my room is far from perfect. It is, however, a family living room, so I

I downloaded your .drc files. Your normal.drc file is in fact different from mine. The resulting filter sounded a bit scooped, but not awful to me (I didn't measure it). I've attached the normal file i've been using. BTW, I had some pretty serious room problems before I got rid of a

I don't think I have ever heard of a Lavry product referred to as mediocre. Considering these are some of the most respected -- and used, especially by the classical crowd -- DACs in mastering studios says rather a lot about their quality. These are professional, not audiophile, products (with

Right - if you see it on the visualizer, it is definitely a data or software problem, not anything physically wrong with the SB3 or your equipment. This could be quite hard to track down unless you can find some pattern to it. Next time you hear the clicks, try restarting that track and see if

Burn-in and 'break-in' are two entirely separate concepts with respect to electronic systems. One has an engineering or scientific basis while the other would appear to me to be marketing hype. As mentioned in posts above, burn-in is an established procedure for almost any system, be it
