Well Done Stan.
Word of mouth is Waaaayy better than bought for reviews.
What goes up slowly, comes down slowly, and its taken a while for your Dac to get credible (despite it being VERY so), but now everyone else is catching up.
Good Luck.

I still can't get hold of a copy of HFC. I guess my local outlets haven't yet got stock.
The problem for me is that sales have gone through the roof. I am selling the DACs faster than I can make them. I reckon that by Friday I am going to have to start putting customers on a waiting list of a few days. The Chinese New Year is also coming up, and that is going to interrupt supply as well.
My orders from the continent are now larger than orders from the UK. I got guys buying two or more pieces at a time! Maybe I should increase the price for the continental buyers.

There has been a lot of discussion about the 7510 on the Logitec Squeezebox forum. I imagine that has helped to spread the word. An annoying twerp from the developers loftily stated that it wouldnt improve on the dac in the Squeezebox and if you wanted better quality buy a Transporter (about £1200 I think). Of course he hadnt tried it.......

The dac inside the SB3 in standard form is compromised , for the price you can't complain but as it is the 7510 is going to be better IMO.
I've tried the 7510 with my Duet, not a bad combo for the price
