What Im about to suggest probably isnt state of the art in this
digital world we live in but you could try buying a second hand 557 and
Bi-amping.
I have a system with the same components as you and made this upgrade a
few years back with absolutely stunning results. Depending on your
As per Mortod's example above, I've run an SB3 into my larger DSP's
second input; using the first for my regular processor link. SB
optical went to my processor; SB co-ax straight to the speaker.
It makes it a very easy way to do an A/B of SB vs a.n.other source, opt
vs co-ax etc
I found that t
I spoke to some of the guys from Meridian at a hifi show last year and
they said they had loads of Squeezeboxes driving their speakers. It
seems a perfect idea.
You may need to be careful to get good 75ohm cables though - maybe
that's why people suggest DSP control units?

This approach has been discussed several times on the Meridian Board
although I'm not sure how may are actually use it. Most people with
DSPs have a processor as well. The approach is perfectly feasible and
I think the SB is an excellent digital source.

I use DSP5000s mkII. I did for a whilse connect them direct to the SB3,
via their D2 input (you can use D1 to feed from a controller for your
other sources). It worked well.
In the end though I am using D2 for direct connection to my 598 player
so I can listen to multi channel DVD-A (my 561 don't
Sounds feasible. The only drawbacks I can see are that the SB3 as
standard isn't the worlds greatest digital source. In addition, the
5000s have their own style of presentation, clearly very marmite. I've
heard them and didn't like them, but go check them out for yourself, you
may love them.
Hi folks - had a crazy idea last night, hows about replacing my Meridian
analogue setup (556 24bit DAC/502 preamp/557 power amp) with a pair of
DSP5000's (or 5500's but I think these are still a bit costly on the
used market!) fed straight from the SB3?
Is this feasible, has anyone here done some
