Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
Unfortunately, we have ventured into territory that I am not really qualified to speak on, at least in technical terms. But, based upon my extensive reading of articles and opinions on the on the subject, it is my "opinion" [emphasis added] that i... 
DAC with the best midrange ever.....
I can wholeheartedly recommend the player I own and that is the GNSC modded Resolution Audio Opus 21. I have an admittedly modest analogue setup, but in comparison the Opus definitely has the qualities that makes analogue so good. It's a very musi... 
Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
I have the Bolder digital enthusiast mod to my SB3, which primarily concentrates on power supply upgrades and reducing the signal path of the digital output. A new voltage regulator is installed and the the analog outs are removed altogether. I us... 
Squeezebox Internet radio 'sputtering?
Your speed is more than adequate, but your connection is obviously breaking up somewhere in the chain. My first thought is that your router is the culprit, or possibly your ethernet cable. When you say you're using a Squeezebox/Duet combo, do you ...

Any SB Owners Using Channel Islands Power Supply
I have an SB3 with the Bolder "Enthusiast" digital mods, which significantly upgrades the SB3's internal power supply, replaces the voltage regulator and removes the analog outputs. I also use a BPT "BAT" battery power supply. Seems like overkill ...

budget DACs
Channel Islands Audio makes a small footprint DAC in your price range. I haven't heard it, but have owned other CIAudio gear that was well built and a good value. http://www.ciaudio.com/  
Does anyone actually make a processor that works
I don't have a stand alone processor, but have a two year old Onkyo 805 receiver that handles HDMI and all processing chores flawlessly, including all HD audio codecs. I am using a cable box, blu-ray player and LCD display running through the Onky...
