Analog vs. digital


I’ve found that on my system the digital side is more finely etched than the analog side. Both sound great in their own way, but records just don’t sound so finely defined.
What is your experience?

I started streaming with a AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt. I'm impressed with the sonics of it. Tremendous soundstage. I'd say it beats my analog setup 70% of the time. Analog investment going into the preamp is roughly $5500 (TT, cartridge, stylus, phono preamp.) The Dragonfly is $330! 

I do have some have some albums that beat what I've been able to find streaming.

In the end, I love vinyl and probably will still seek out particular albums to add to the collection.

Streaming is great to listen to music that I'm not sure I want to add to the vinyl collection. I think it will keep the volume of records in check so I don't have walls of vinyl records. The collection is all killer and no filler!

I don't even understand what you are talking about. Digital can't get a single note right, or even a silence.

I assume that was sarcasm.

People dont understand that engineering is not sound, acoustic/-psycho-acoustic has more impact than the choice of relatively good and equivalent piece of gear, and explain sound...Electronic engineering dont explain sound at all...Electronic engineering use discoveries in acoustic and neuro -acoustic...

Nevermind digital or analog, silence or music is neither digital nor analog, it is an acoustical/ neuro-acoustical fact...

People really believe that the sound comes from the gear alone because of marketing not from the acoustic settings of ROOM also and from their brain correlating each ear....

Pieces of gear matter, yes, way ,way less than your brain/room/speakers correlated dynamic...

Picking a dac or a turntable matter way less...Pick a good one for sure either a dac or a turntable....But nowadays dac are more pragmatic choice, and no more behind analog...
