At one time records sounded better
that being said at least $10k needed for digital or Analog-records. To sound
at Audiophile standards on average , for digital $4-5k alone just for a LPS for router
2-Quality ethernet cables, a goodEthernet hum with LPS built in or external at minimum $250 power cords, and Dac $4500 on up .
look at a good turntable which I hav3 had exceeding $15k complete.
to myself having owned a Audio store for a decade , Analog used to beat digital Always ,digital now has progressed many times over in the last 4 years.
a record can produce 12.5 bits Max, true digital 20 true bits , read up on this it’s a lengthy explanation . Digital far better S/N ratio , THD , Bass, As well as HF extension when properly implemented . As we speak I am saving hope to have the
Best Buy in digital the T+A 200 dac , I have yet to find any digital even 2x it’s $7200 retail price ,to better it, plus built in has HQ player which is a very powerful tool to tune your audio taste exactly to your-system but takes time to learn and for $200 a true bargain ,Roon even has HQ player built into it, Innuos also allows this now you need HD space and a modern Processor and prefer a nice SS drive. ,
