Thanks, guys for sharing your ideas! I'm going to implement
many valuable suggestions including simultaneous power on/off
for the SB3/amp. Will post pics and details soon.
@ezkcdude - My integrated amp/dac concept doesn't exclusively
work with SB3's but its built-in dac along with the power
See my post on DACs, but basically something that is warm and detailed
in the mid/upper mid range with good bass control, timiing and stereo
sound stage. But then I guess that's what everyone wants...(sigh)

It would be nice to receive your feedback as to what
particular features you would (possibly) appreciate.
Some preliminary details:

- You say it's an integrated amp. So, analog volume control knob and a
remote.
Yes, volume control would be in the analog domain (digitally
controlled precision resistor network with rotary encoder)
A basic remote would be part of the package.

Sounds cool - do you have any intentions regarding a means of turning it
on and off automatically - maybe by the remote or an audio signal level
switch? I like my SBs to be able to bring the amps out of standby. A
direct wired IR signal interface might offer some interesting options
and save the

Audiophiles who are into vinyl these days are really
into it. I have a hard time seeing someone wanting
a turntable and not insisting on a dedicated preamp

I don't really understand this concept. How specifically can a DAC or
any component be specifically made for the SqueezeBox? Is this just a
case of really targeted marketing? Now, if you can isolate the I2S
lines on my SqueezeBox, and therefore, bypass the usual SPDIF receiver
(i.e. CS8416, etc.)
