Frail and Bedazzled

Nice Dac Three Easy Payments. Never heard of it before so I checked out their web site. 
I use a Tube phono stage and have thought about getting tube DACs but I would need two of them. Nobody that I know of makes a 4 channel DAC. The subwoofer cross overs are done digitally and my system is a 2.2 set up. 4 channels. I just pissed away all my Hi Fi money for the next year buying a new turntable and speakers so the DACs are on the rear burner. I also want to get a laser projector. It never ends. 

There you go Trout, to good flavors of ice cream. I like that. Come to think of it I'm going to get me some vanilla :-)

Digital is more accurate. Vinyl is prone to distortions that we actually like. There is always a small amount of feedback that occurs with a turntable unless you have it in another room. The feed back is delayed slightly which creates a slight echo given a sense of space which is pleasing. This is just one example. Analog is also prone to more harmonic distortion some forms of which are pleasing. 
It is all about what you like to listen to. Accuracy is meaningless in the end. Whether I prefer the vinyl or digital copy of an album depends more on the mastering than anything. To say one always sounds better than the other is rather short sighted. Remember 90% or better of modern recordings are digital. Once you are in numbers it is much harder to corrupt the music but with analog every single step adds distortion. It is why we love Direct to Disc recordings so much. Four or five steps are eliminated. If you are disappointed with digital get a Vacuum Tube DAC such as the Audio Research DAC 9. It will make digital files sound more analog.

troutki50, It sounds like your digital side needs some work also. In my own experience it is about 50/50. I do download a lot of hi res files and everything is up sampled to 24/192. Having said that I have a brand new turntable on the way. A Sota Cosmos Vacuum with a Schroder CB arm and Soundsmith "The Voice" cartridge. I finally decided to try a Soundsmith as quite a few people like them and there are aspects to the design that make good sense. I have never seen a cantilever this thin and the quality of manufacture is first class. I may have to stop dissing Peter even if his office has been classified as a super fund site.
