I decided to go all digital streaming several years ago, and I've loved every minute of it. Digital (streaming) has come such a long way over the past 15 years or so. I don't miss my old analog and CD set-ups one bit. As a matter of fact, I strongly believe that the evolution and emergence of high quality, audiophile caliber streaming, via Tidal and Qobuz, is one of the greatest and most brilliant inventions in the history of high end audio music reproduction. The trick is to assemble a streaming audio system which consists very high quality cables and components in order to achieve the very highest level of sound quality out of your digital streaming audio system. Happy listening.
It's been a long time.
Long time member, very infrequent poster. Haven't listened to my analog set up in quite a while, almost 2 years since I got engrossed in my digital streaming set up.
So, I decided to listen to 2 quality recorded vinyl albums this afternoon, what a pleasant treat.
There is in my set up, a warm, rounded, sense of bloom to the music, everything else being the same. In digital, I notice a slight sharper edge to the notes, maybe, it's all in my head and confirmation bias. It kind of reminds me why I am drawn to music in the first place.
