About the SB3

The Slim Devices SB3 is a network music player designed for audiophiles, featuring an analog output stage that generates 6 volts at full power with a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 100dB. It offers digital outputs via coaxial and Toslink connectors. The volume control is software-based, implemented before the DAC, allowing for remote control operation without physical volume pots. The SB3 supports various audio formats and can be customized with screen savers such as VU meters and RSS feeds. It is capable of playing lossless audio formats like FLAC, providing a smooth and listenable sound with a laid-back presentation, decent mids, polite highs, and a flat soundstage. Modifications such as digital output enhancements and crystal removal have been documented to improve sound quality further. The device is part of the Squeezebox family and is compatible with SqueezeServer software versions 6.0 and above. It has a compact form factor and is known for its reliable network streaming capabilities.
