Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What mods on SB3 REALLY make a difference in reducing jitter?

Thing is that the RFI generated from the switching power supply will creep to other components, and this is not good. RFI itself might introduce noise to the digital data stream, causing extra jitter. -- crooner Customized dual chassis Super Squeezebox EAD DSP-7000 MKIII DAC with HDCD VPI

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What mods on SB3 REALLY make a difference in reducing jitter?

. OTOH, you'd be surprised at the poor shielding some very expensive high-end units exhibit. There's even one audiophile school of thought claiming RFI shielding affects sound quality (i.e. Kimber and Nordost cables). -- crooner Customized dual chassis Super Squeezebox EAD DSP-7000 MKIII DAC

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Beresford TC-7510 MKIII

Looks like a nice unit and you can't beat the price, that's for sure! It appears to use a 12V DC external source. So, there's a lot of room for improvement with better supplies, etc. -- crooner SB2 SB3 with Custom Linear Power Supply Lite Audio DAC-60 Tube DAC VPI Scout with Benz Micro

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] My 2 mods for coax digi out...

I don't think radiation from the 2.4 GHz card and antennas is a big issue. Otherwise we would all be hearing about it. The stock switching power supply has a greater effect on the sound, IMO. -- crooner SB2 SB3 with Custom Linear Power Supply Lite Audio DAC-60 Tube DAC VPI Scout with Benz
