Hi Wayne,
I recently purchased one of your modded SB3 devices on Audigon. I hadn't heard of Bolder prior to that, nor had I ever audiotioned a SB3 - just trusted the many reviews I had read. I hooked it up to my system and quickly loaded it up with the latest firmware, only to realize later that you recommend one of the older firmware versions for optimum sound quality. Do you still think that still applies with the latest firmware?
One more question if I may. I don't have an outboard DAC & have the digital output connected directly to my Primare SPA21 integrated amp/surrount processor which has built in Burr-Brown PCM1738 DACs. Do you think I'll get much of an improvement in sound by getting an outboard DAC? I did a major recent upgrade on my system due to some good deals I ran into. I went from an Onkyo/NHT to a Primare/Martin Logan system & the SB3/EAC/Flac is doing wonders to my music collection. Sumiko, the distrubitor of Primare, thinks highly of the Primare's internal DACs, so hopefully I can take a break from upgrading for now or else the WAF will return back to zero! LOL
Thanks,
Z
