if* (big if) HD players actually take off and one or the
other wins the format war, then everyone will have a HD audio player.
Plus I think I read somewhere that Sony admitted SACD never really took
off (which is no surprise).
gitech's server instead (or hopefully as
well as SlimServer).
Have to say Logitech's software isn't too great, at least going by the
mouse/keyboard software.
Personally I'm not bothered whatever happens. I have a SqueezeBox and
love it, and SlimServer is open source, free and l
ferably with a true blind test. If it truly sounds better,
then buy it.

I'm dubious about the need with the SB3 though.
>From what I understand it has linear filters inside anyway unlike the
SB2, and I'm sure I read in the manual that you shouldn't use a
different PSU as the one supplied is optimum for it anywa
tches, electrical noise, etc). When ripping with something
like EAC it's repeatedly going over the CD doing error correction to
ensure the data is perfect. A CD player is just not going to do that.

vering the
file to the DAC, so it's pretty much as perfect a delivery of digital
data to the DAC as you can get.
If you were to output SP/DIF from the SB you may be introducing jitter
again, though the quality of an external DAC might outweigh that.
