Adding a benchmark is completely different in that you still only have
one digital to analog conversion. Also, its marketing material suggests

I disagree with Pat Farrell, when he says There can be no audio
quality improvement in adding
anything to the audio chain
I conneted the SB3 to a DAC, the Benchmark DAC1, and the improvement
in quality of sound was remarkable!
Please try it!

Actually, it suppresses EMI from coming _out_ of the box.

In that case, strictly speaking, you can only add things to the audio

Hello,
I know very little about electricity, so please forgive my silly
questions.
I have read that upgrading the power supply benefits the SB's sound.
Now, just for curiosity sake, how can Volts have a sound?
They're not silly, but you've combined two questions into
The SB3 has an external switched-mode PSU
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply) which some
claim can have a high-frequency noise on the 5V output (hence the
ferrite-core on the wire to suppress this), This noise could affect the
DAC in the SB3.

As for connecting the SB3 directly to a power amp, it would be better
(for audio quality and safety reasons) to use some type type of preamp.
Many here use passive preamps which can be inexpensive.

I beg to differ. There can be no audio quality improvement in adding
anything
No real disagrement here.
By improved audio quality, I was referring to using an analogue volume
control rather than the squeezebox one.
To me, a minimal passive preamp is just an attenuator. I use a DACT
model built into a power amp with no other cicuitry. There are
certainly cheaper
