[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Simpler (less demanding) EQ than Inguz?

I'd really like to avoid extra hardware if possible. At the moment it's an Sb3 into AudioEngines and it's a very neat little solution but I feel it could be tweaked to be better...or at least more how I like it. -- bossanova808

Those little brass knobs on the front switch the inputs, the LEDs indicate which is active. I'd suspect a remote control will be in the offing with later versions. -- bossanova808 bossanova808's Profile: http

2006-10-29 Thread bossanova808
I've always found Rotel gear to offer excellent value for money and very neutral, un-coloured sound. I'd have a listen to see if it suits you but I think they're often as good or better than many much more 'premium' marques at a substantially lower cost. -- bossanova808

To my ears 6.2.2 and its included firmware restores the SB to its former glory, gets rid of the tinny highlights and allowd me to start using ReplayGain ahead... So for me, this is the 'approved firmware' - anyone else agree? -- bossanova808

I've just switched from wired to wireless and done a few blind tests and can't hear a difference - using Rotel pre-amp/amp and Rega Jura speakers. The amp is a bit older so I'm using RCA outs from the SB2 All files are FLAC. -- bossanova808
