Digital will alwas sound digital to some extent. vandersteens mentioned above are very smooth and netural even laid back speakers and do help alot, I have had several and they are my favorite brand for the price. Something brigher will sound more digital. So yes speakers can help, but as stated above I think other things cause it as well like the source and wires. What are you running for a amp and pre amp? I found when I went to tube amps and pre amp it smoothed everything out. I also run a cary 303 cd player that has a tube stage, you can turn it off swap out the tubes, upsample so I have alot of choices how the sound comes out. Generaly I don't like Cary but this they did a good job on.
Can good speakers take edge off digital?
I have a pair of Quad 12L2 speakers hooked up to an 845 SET. When I am listening to analog, the system sounds fine. But with digital, well, it has that bit of the digital edginess. Can a better pair of speakers, say the Zu Druid, take the edge off the digital?
