Squeezebox in Stereophile
« on: 24 May 2006, 04:20 pm »
This was in Stereophile eNewsletter, looks like the SB will be in the Aug issue.
It would be nice if he had a modded SB & modded PS to compare. It would blow his socks off :mrgreen:.

Books, Guitars, Hi-Fi & WiFi by John Atkinson
I have already written about the third-generation Squeezebox (SB3) WiFi hub and D/A processor from Slim Devices in the March and April Stereophile eNewsletters, and I promised that I would write about the sound quality of the SB3's analog outputs in the July Stereophile. Well, the best-laid plans and all that: I ran out of time for this review to be squeezed into July, so it shall now appear in August. But suffice it to say that I find that the Squeezebox sounds better driving an external high-quality D/A converter, such as the Benchmark DAC-1 or the Musical Fidelity X-DACV3, than it does from its analog outputs, at least when used with its standard wall-wart power supply. (See our mid-April newsletter for details of companies offering upgraded supplies and modifications.)
