Is there any diff between the DAC on the SB2 and the SB3? I've got an
SB2.

Go to Setting = tab page Player and choose Audio from the drop down
menu. There you will find the relevant options (Effects loop input and
Effects loop clock mode).

On my side, I can hear on my headphones SB generated noise on quiet

That noise is maybe -60 dB.

If you have any other device (e.g. another SB3 or SBR), make sure the

are listening on SB in which case things start to make sense to me

Does anyone know whether the unbalanced RCA connectors on the

Transporter, Naim NAC112/NAP150, Monitor Audio
All the grounds in the system (input/earth, chassis, PCB) tie together
at one point near the power connector. This is standard practice for
audio equipment and generally required for compliance with safety and
EMI law.
I'm not sure what you're saying about the Naim's requirement, but I've
