Squeezebox Vs Duet

Given the $399 price of a Duet (and less if purchased used), versus the
~$200-$250 (used) cost of an SB3, the Duet seems like a no-brainer, IMO.

Unless you can find a SB3/Boulder modded ELPAC power supply package for
around $300. The power supply is supposed to make a substantial
improvement, especially regarding the digital output of the player.

Sorry, I thought Tvad was referring to the Duet remote with the SB3.

Once again, IMO, the digital output of a stock Duet sounds better than a stock SB3.

Also, IMO, the Bolder digital mods are a joke.

If you want a linear PSU, here's the real deal:

If you want to upgrade digital outputs on a SB3 or Duet, contact Pat at:

amplifiers@analogresearch-technology.net.

Is there a specific PS model number at Acopian one should search for?

Are you saying the Bolder Elpac power supply mods are a joke, or the Bolder Squeezebox digital mods are a joke? Would you be more specific about why you have this opinion?

Thanks.

I'm also interested in the Acopin ps model no.. Would like to get one ordered since I just ordered a duet. Got a great deal that I couldn't pass up.
Also, what is the best wiring method. My ht is in a different room so I will hardwire to my receiver with either coax or toslink. The run will be around 25'. I'm guessing digital coax.
Everything I have read about the Boulder mods has been positive. Figure I'll play with the duet a bit, buy a better dac, play some more, and may try their mod. Figure the longer I wait and play the more time for better mods or possible diy tweaks/mods.
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. Very excited about the duet.

I'm looking for a regulated, quiet, linear power supply too and checked Acopian and didn't have a clue which PS would work.
Please help recommend a model number. It would be appreciated. I don't want top spend an arm and a leg for a replacment PS.
Thanks.
