welcome to the the Dark Side. I waded in carefully, but have become both curious about how to get great sound, seduced by the convenience, and impressed with the sound. Despite my many 100s of albums and three excellent turntables, i rarely play them any more. I can generally find a remastered version of "X" on Tidal or Qobuz that is significantly better.
I have sweated the details, form power supplies to networking to isolation. Yet by many high end standards i have a pittance invested. Its somewhat unfair of course since i build and modify my own stuff frequently. Right now, as I learn, i have three DACs, all with somewhere between 30% and 50% my on content - fixing the weak or obsolete points (e.g.: replace SPDIF with USB and a great clock; isolate the input, build a super clean LPS).
My digital sounds like analog, minus the faults. But its easy to get mediocre or even annoying digital sound, ans many have proven. I wont go into the long version. Do a quick search and find some extensive posts i've made for others. I ought to consolidate them into a blog and link the whole enchilada.
Have a joyous holiday, whichever flavor *(hey, the last supper was seder after all....)
