Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.


Funny how manufacturers of streaming and digital gear continues to chase that elusive analog sound. I thought digital was better?

Before you all get your panties in a wad I enjoy both Digital and Analog but much rather listen to an analog source than digital.

So today I see  Innuos Introduces The PhoenixNET – A Network Switch For Audiophiles @ only $3500.00

Guess I do not see the point you can get superior sound for say $2500 or less with a decent turntable cartridge combo and phono stage. Hell Clear Audio has an all in one for $2500.

I just don’t get it and I do not care to either.

"but with a streamer plus a $15/month subscription you can access unlimited HD music.  Who’s ahead now?"

I am...

In that I have pretty much have everything I care to listen to on LP and CD, and I rarely like anything new* that I sample (last 10+ years*).

I somtimes seek CD versions of my favorite vinyl music simply for the convenience of the format.

I also have gobs of LP's that never made it to the digital realm.

If one it interested in contemporary/recent music I get your drift, but this does not (so far) interest me.

I sample mainly from YT, plus a few other sites.
