Is it because my SOTA/Alphason/Lyra Delos/Moon analogue setup is so worn and outdated? Is it because my ears are so ancient? Or is it because my Qobuz/Mytek BB streaming is so damn good? Anyway, I'm liking digital more than analogue these days. Drum me out of the audiophile corps! BTW, I'm very tolerant of LP noises. As long as a tick or crunch doesn't last more than two or three revolutions I'm okay with 'em.
A streaming setup that competes with my CD and turntable set up?
I have just started to listen to music again. I am very happy with my current set up. I have a Cary Audio 303 cd player and a Well Tempered Classic turntable with a Bottlehead Eros for a phono preamp. I want to mainly stream with tidal and listen to music that is not in my current collection. My question is ... would a simple set up like an ipad or mac mini into a couple of hundred dollar dac get me close to the sound quality of my current sources? If not, what would it take on a budget to get close to the sound quality that I'm getting currently? Thanks in advance.
