65 yo. Digital only, since 5 years. No place for a TT and record collection in the living room.
Old 90th analogue system in basement waiting for my retirement in spring to setup and revive. Had a long period of no time and interest in audiophile stuff. Looking forward to play some of my old records again, but do not expect it to beat my digital setup.
My digital use is via Roon, Qobuz streaming for exploring, and download or CD ripped for keepers, no CD-Player. Invested into high quality digital components which make digital really sing.
My experience is, that high resolution media is not as important as really good gear. Ripped CDs can be fantastic. Of course, my DXD files (24bit 352.8 kHz) recorded with single stereo microphone are the best imaginable ... getting those at NativeDSD.com
In my opinion and experience, just comparing CDs played on a CD-Player to vinyl is not a valid comparison for digital versus analogue.
