All -
Got up this morning to the right channel on my SB3 significantly quieter than the left. After quick troubleshooting and a look here, I see it's a known problem, requiring the replacement of some caps. (The SB3 is at least a decade old.)
But I also have an old SPDIF DAC, so I dug it out, hooked up the TOSLINK connection and was back in business. Sounds fine to my antique ears.
So is there any reason at all to fix the analog outs, other than a compulsive need to have everything in spec?
