Bolder Cable does digital only mods to the Squeezebox and also offers upgraded power supplies. The other school of thought is something like the Empirical Audio Pacecare that acts as reclocker/jitter reducer. But, for the money some of these mods cost, you can almost buy a transporter - as suggested.
Logitech Squeezebox III Power Supply/Mods
I am currently using a stock Logitech/Slim Devices Squeezebox III as a digital "transport." I send uncompressed .wav files to the Squeezebox via "wifi" and then feed the following components from the Squeezebox using its coax digital output in the following manner:
Squeezebox III-->dCS Purcell Upsampler (to DSD)-->dCS Delius DAC-->Mark Levinson Amp-->B&W N802 Speakers.
This is a reference quality system including power conditioning and cabling by Transparent Audio.
My question is, if I wanted to improve the performance of the Squeezebox as a digital transport, what if any third party or do-it-yourself modifications would you recommend, and why?
Just to be clear, I am only interested in improving the Squeezebox's digital output functionality. I do not use, and will not use, the onboard DAC or analog output section.
