| PS Audio DAC iii and Marantz SA 8100 CD Player Ya I know! You can't stream sbox to 8001. Need 8004 or sa15 for that. Sbox into ps audio via optical was best connection for me.

| How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp Easy: connect a 40 watt rated light bulb to each amp. Run a 50/60 hz sine wave at 2 to 3 volts rms into each amp. Eventually the 140 watt amp will blow the light bulb. There you have it. The 40 watt wins. | |
