Does anyone with both a classic and the Duet Receiver can tell me if he could tell the difference between the DAC, the Classic seem to have slightly better spec, but in the end, which one sounds better?
Thanks

This thread covers the debate at some length. Popular opinion seems to find little or no difference for the average user; my Classic and my Duet both sound equally good to me.

I own the Transporter, many SB3s, a Duet, an SBR (Receiver), and a Boom. The SB3 and Duet are fairly well matched. Of course they are different, but in very subtle ways and in different places. In the bigger picture it is not going to matter and sound wise its basically a tie. Pick the one that has the best utility for what you are trying to accomplish. You really can't go wrong with either one of them from using powered speakers all the way up to mid-fi.
If this is for your main system and it is a high-end two-channel system, look at buying either a Transporter or Duet/SB3 with a nice DAC.Last edited by iPhone; 2008-09-24 at 10:24.
