SlimDevices/Logitech SqueezeBox Owners
I received the SB Classic during late June 2009 to replaced the iPod Classic 160GB. SB3 is a much better source in comparison with the latter especially with an external DAC in place. I didn't opt for a Transporter in view its price and available funds.
I read up many reviews/comments/feedbacks in regards to a power supply upgrade for the SB3 and it took me a month to pulled the trigger for a Welborne Labs SB3 Power Supply Upgrade Kit with factory assemble and test option included. I initially find it hard to justify as the cost for a PSU upgrade is almost near to the price of a SB3. I grabbed it while Welborne Labs having a sale with a 20% discount.
I am hearing huge improvement even with SB3's Digital out to Paradisea 3, the background is much darker with increase in dynamics, much more details, soundstage open even further. The midrange is better controlled with tighter bass. The impression is based on the PSU upgrade which has just break-in for approx 2 hours. It believe it will sound even more awesome after 50 hours or more. I did comparison against the SB3 stock switching PS is nowhere near the PSU upgrade. I am connivence now....
To all SqueezeBox owners out there, feel free to post your impressions here for any tweaks you have done to your SlimDevices/Logitech SqueezeBox products.
