And it has caused me great grief. I usually I have my Audiotropic Moebius ahead of it and only use the volume control to bump up or down a step or two from my chair. But I had a newly rebuilt amp that I was unsure of and took my preamp out to check it. Boy did I get some serious bad stuff happening--nearly blew out my speakers. Rebooted and updated the firmware and all is fine again.G

Can you share with us your firmware and server version #s ?
I am running 55 and 6.3.1 and my SB3 distorts on some flacs made by Media Monkey. It is okay with the flac generated by EAC/Flac integration. I am wondering whether a firmware upgrade will fix any incompatibility on the flac end .
(BTW, Thanks for writing a nice article on SB2, appreciative as well as realistic expectation setting).
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate someone noticing!I too am using 55 and 6.3.1, I am using APL & .wav files. I have notice some files distort or go white noise every so often, however I have never (to my knowledge) had the volume control become a pass-through. I will be ever vigilant from now on. The good news is that I still believe my (now RWA modded) SB2 to be one of the real audio bargains of the last few years. Even modded it is still cheaper that a lot of the "entry-level" high end players.
I guess I can forgive my SB2 for its transgressions... ;)
Thanks for the reply. I suggest you should take up the Panasonic XR55/57 in bi-amped mode(when six amps are driving a stereo set of speakers) for review sometime. I am driving a pair of Silverline SOnatina's with it and it is pretty transparent. Sort of straight wire with gain. I can tell the difference between my MMF/Monolithic sound Phono, my philips 963sa or the SB3 very well.
I have a XR45 based multichannel system connected to my computer and Pioneer 578A. It sounds pretty good too!Cheers!
