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.

@tomcy6 I do not drink. 
Now if I were a professor @ Columbia I would snort China White (heroin) every evening to unwind. I am not judging...yes I am.

But I do not so I come here and jerk a chain or two.

No hard feelings and enjoy your evening.

Cheers. 
@lexx21 I have work to do sorry but I am shutting down.

I imagine there will be a few snipers taking shots so enjoy.

Cheers.

See if I can whip it up again this weekend.
skypunk,

Veggie burger is fine. Of course, I remove tomato.

I came across a number of children over the years, but those inflatable devices were not popular when I was growing up. We had to learn how to swim independently by the age of 4, or so.

Digital *IS* better.

Only the nostalgic oldies are chasing the old analog sound.  People living in the 21st century are not.

I have converted to digital and never looked back.  I do have an old Linn Sondek but I like its LOOKS more than its sound.  It is never able to come up to the dynamics and clarity of the digital sound.

The clean, crisp and noise free sound and the ease of use of digital will beat 99% analogs hands down these days.  Maybe not the ones costing over $50k or $60k, but then again, 99% of the people cannot afford that and it is irrelevant.
