Any suggestions?
So, no valves then?

Hi guys.
There are also endless discussions about jitter and other distortions
at Audio Asyslum.
Fact is that there is NO device at any price out which has proven to

Except that that test, just like many such tests, doesn't account for
the listener and his abilities.

Interesting I'll try to find a review.
Thanks.

castalla's Profile:
I agree with most of what Soundcheck wrote. Jitter happens at source as
well as during transmission. If you have bits in memory and you clock
it out at a certain frequency, say 44.1kHz, the clock's instability is
the source of jitter. If these bits are transmitted over a cable to a
separate DAC,
I use Soundcheck's mods and believe they give a noticeable improvement.
Don't know how or why and would prefer to keep it that way. Looking
forward to trying 3.0 when Klaus releases it.
All this talk about jitter etc is over my head, surely life is too
short? Why not just enjoy the Squeezebox

There's also this one from Audioengine:
http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-N22. I don't know anything
about their amp, but their self-amplified speakers get great reviews
around here for being excellent value for money.
Or if you want to go real minimalist you could forget the new amp
Audioengine - nice but a bit pricey, although cheaper than the sumoh.
I can't find any reviews for the Muse - bit of a stab in the dark?

Ok, if US$200 is too steep then that narrows things down a lot.
Earlier, when I dissed the Sonic Impact as not being stylish I was
thinking of 'this model'
(http://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Impact-15-Watt-Portable-Amplifier/dp/B9W44B).
But I had forgotten about its bigger brother, which looks
Thanks for all the advice!
If you find a review for the Muse still my favourite.

There are also 15, 20 and 30W versions of the MUSE amp. There seems to
be more info out there about the M20. Do a Googld search for:

My first thought, too.
On the other hand, if you are using a Squeezebox product you can manage
volume through that system. It's not clear why two pre-amps is a
desirable thing.
