Ok, first bits may be bits… but how you get them matters like night and day. There is no debate among audiophiles and enthusiasts that have tried. Huge jumps in sound quality among transports and streamers is so obvious anyone can hear it. Not subtle in any way. Fooling around with inexpensive or unresolving systems might mask it. But with any experience the difference is like night and day… just like a cheap turntable, or phonostage, amp or speakers..
