As told by several posts in this forum the DAC of the SB2 is a significant better one than the one used in the original SB. It can be most suprising what a seperate DAC (f.e. a behringer or an apogee) can do with the signal from the SB1 even without upsampling it. I bought the Behringer after I hav

Erh, eh... Perhaps I'm missing something (literally) as I go from the SB via the phono plugs into a Krell PAM III pre-amp, Krell KSA-50 combo. As the preamp does not have digital in, should I be thinking of getting a converter and doing a conversion to analog outside the SB? - John -- No virus fou
