inexpensive and once the original Opamp switched in favor of 2
BurrBrown OPA627BP this little DAC comes to life!

If nothing else it would help with the inexpensive issue Pat mentioned.

Question if the SqueezeBoom is now the boombox for the 21st Century does
that mean that the vacuum fluorescent display is now the flashing lights
and the built in DSP is now the graphic equalizer?

At least it's active/biamped.
Looks a bit 90's Sony though.

No, but for the discriminating listener I'll be performing audiophile
modifications to the unit including:
*Replacement of wall wart with much heavier linear supply.
*Addition of silver speaker wires internally.
*Coating of C-41 lacquer on woofers.
*Removal of metal speaker grills. (not recommend
Though it may sound good for a "boom box", I can't see using the word
audiophile in the same sentence as "boom box". :)

It sounds pretty good for a boombox.
Or is it too inexpensive?

On my setup there's an obvious difference between lossless and lossy
music. These differences don't come so much from the -inevitable-
artifacts : they come from the absence of some signal information. The
difference is not the same depending on the codec used, but there's
always an easy-to-distin

Actually, the power drawn by high or low impedance headphones is
probably pretty much the same But you get there from different
directions. At the risk of using an equation:
Power = voltage x current
High impedance headphones will require a higher voltage, but lower
current than a low imped

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann
