Have digital players improved


Anyone else notice that the last five years or so digital players have improved to a point where there equal to analog and without all the fiddle f---ing of the latter. It hasn't been simple or easy or inexpensive but it's been rewarding.

sorry, in my experience digital is not the equal of well sorted analog. I have a hard time dealing with the compressed nature of the sound stage and lack of air around voices and instruments that analog excels with and digital fall short.
Rockitman,,, Nice system, nice system link, thanks for inviting us into your room.
But by looking a your great analog rig and not seeing a CD player, I'm wondering if you had spent the same time and money on both formats that you might see things differently.

I have a memory transport, not a cd player. It plays up to 24/192 wav files burned on DVD-R... The PS Audio Perfect Wav System. While I have not spent nearly as much as on my analog rig, the PS Audio holds it's own as being one of the better digital playback system's available at any price. There are some great digital recordings. In the end though, my analog setup best's it by a good margin for delivering musical reality.
