Question:
I have often wondered this myself, especially with my very efficient
speakers (Zu Druids 101 Db). I think that the preamp section of an amp
should be at the unity gain setting for it's best performance. That is
the point where the preamp section is purely letting the signal pass
through, with no

The problem is that at a 'unity gain'

ALAC-WAV. Not FLAC. I mentioned MP3 only because someone on this forum
once said that I should check that down-converting to MP3 was not taking
place. So, I compared ALAC with WAV, and preferred plain WAV by rather

This is a rich resource and I have benefited immensley from the
knowledgable and helpful members here.
With that in mind, here is my Q -

I find the only EMI that's truly audible is AC power with
interconnects.
Just keep them separated, and cross at right angles.

Thanks for the help.
I have a follow up question.
The QSC's have gain controls as well. Should the QSC gain controls be
set in any specific way.
And the fact that the QSC's have gain controls mean they have built in
preamps?

powerstrip and RG-60 coax ICs completely eliminated all hums and noises
for me. As far as clutter, I used those slit flexhose for bundling the
ICs together and keep them away from AC cords

Best practice is to have short wires so there is no rats nest.

Would there be any signal and/or audio degeneration if I was to use both
the digital coax and optical outs of my squeezebox 3 to two different
dacs (separate speaker and headphone setups)?

Coaxial cable usually used for cable TV. You can get special
connectors to turn this cable into interconnects. Much cheaper than
boutique cable.

(Can't remember if it's RG-6 or RG-60 that's used for cable TV or
satellite TV signals. Anyway, you get the idea.

Interesting...analog and digital IC?
Can easily do both. Take a look at the bandwidth...huge! Meant to
carry signals in the MHz or GHz range.
Does the foil shield in the coax effect noise rejection?
Yes, but this depends on the type of RG cable used. Some have a
No, there shouldn't be.
You can use the analog outputs plus the headphone output at the same
time too if you like. :-)

Well, the problem is resolved. Somehow, a pair of 2 meter interconnects
that had been loaned to me were the cause of it (I had none of
sufficient length at the moment). When I swapped them out, after moving
the unit closer to the amplifiers, and used my existing interconnects,

Yes, that's a form of preamp.

Hi guys,
Been dreaming this in my head for the last few days. I'm going to build
a Super Squeezebox rivaling the Transporter in overall performance with
looks to match.
For his purpose, I've just purchased a SB2 via eBay that will be modded
and then transplanted to a custom made audiophile
