by a long shot. Again the actual infrastructure, either PCM
or DSD, is not that important compared to what is done with it. Or
rather, not done with it, since the less that is done to recordings the
better. A lot of engineers can't seem to understand that.

It's a bit like comparing the cut of diamonds submerged in a fast

other one just there? It is hard to reach meaningful conclusions.

If you take a WAV file and encode it into FLAC and Apple Lossless,
clearly the FLAC and Apple Lossless files themselves will differ.
However, when decoded they are the same again. The same logic applies
to different FLAC compression levels.

If you can't bypass the pre when using the internal DAC then just use
the SN's volume control.

I am running Inguz on Linux with no problem, although I am still on
SC7.2 and don't use Jive.
If you're doing just EQ you can use warble test tones and a Radio Shack
sound meter (for which calibrations are available on the net by
catalogue number - PM me).

the fact it's more compact seals the deal.
Of course, measuring a difference isn't conclusive (there may be still
no audible difference) whereas measuring no difference is conclusive.

I'd be surprised if there weren't several PX-100 owners floating around
at SD, so give it a try yourself. FYI I have a 'Slim Devices' SB3 if
that makes a difference. Thanks, Darren

as I understand it.
Certainly in my experience I've never ever had a problem driving the
PX-100s - even from my mobile phone! This is a big reason they're one
of my favourite bits of gear (plus the fact they sound decent of
course)!

Would there be any technical advantage in feeding headphones from the
RCA outs of an SB3 rather than the headphone jack? BTW I use PX-100s
(one reason I like them is they're easy to drive).

They are coupled with relatively small capacitors so you'll get no bass,

Even with PX-100s (nominal impedence 32 Ohm)?

that is no fault of the switchmode PS. :)

Also I use the tacima mains filter from Maplin, my comments are the
