just bought a SB3, 2 days ago, very pleased with it indeed, still have a Meridian 500mkII, and will do some critical listening this weekend.

However my files are stored lossless, and piped into a Meridian 568 via an optical connection so I'm expecting the difference to be quiet small.

Anyone else have a view on this kind of set-up?

The best feature is logging onto the SB3 front end via a wireless laptop and browsing graphically by title artist etc, one click and its playing through the Meridian set-up.

Great.
