I thought only a clean update is a good way to do, but now I
think the firmware (due to the new SOX?) did it. Even the 320kbs MP3s
(I have only a few ;-) )sound better, than the FLACs with the old
firmware.

Thanks Phil,
Now I learned two things. SOX is nothing I will ever use on my
squeezebox and You are not the original poster what I thought, when I
wrote the post. :-)
Today it is still sounding as good as yesterday, even after a hard days
work, so it seams not to be a placebo.

There isn't a simple answer to this. SB2 uses the PCM1748, but the DAC

depending on the design. Since the DAC chip is only one component of

That would be enough, I guess! Are the improvements as obvious when you
only change the PSU?
I didn't compare A to B quite as dilligently with just the PSU, but I
feel that it's a relatively small improvement compared to the fully

It's the last one, isn't it? I've not listen to it yet. Do you remember
their debut album? That was a piece of bad mastering, in my opinion.
I've got this - it is a really good recording. The music's not bad too!
I love this CD but I find the mastering (I don't know if

No I can't. But one of my friend has a Denon 3805, which is not an
audiophile amplifier but is surely much better than mine. So I have to
convince him to bring it to my place so that we can test my speakers
and
also compare the internal DAC of the Denon with the SB2 one.

Perhaps because they feel blind listening tests don't accurately predict
how music sounds when you listen to music, rather than equipment.
