Almost equality

elliottbnewcombjr,

it’s taken about three or four years.

audioguy85,

I do have the CDt. It’s an excellent transport, and a very good value.

It really benefitted from the addition of a $300 Audioquest power cord.

mijostyn,

Yes, my system just blossomed when I added Benchmark.

it’s amazing how good hi res files from Qobuz sound.

Just don’t get tempted to upgrade the turntable, unless you feel it needs an edge to be worth the bother of using it and taking care if all those records.

RV, it is very hard to beat the convenience and music accessibility of digital. In my opinion, digital and analog front ends will never sound exactly the same but each has a different flavor. I also think the cost and knowledge required to properly construct an analog front end is generally significantly more costly and difficult than with a digital setup. I was a very early digital adopter and I am just blown away how this music reproduction technology has improved over the decades since the CD was invented. I only stream my music using Roon and Qobuz. It works for me  and that’s all that really matters at the end of the day

Tuberist,

I completely agree with you.  it IS amazing how far digital has come. 
I, too now mostly listen to Qobuz and Idagio even though I have many thousands of CDs and records.  It’s gotten so good I don’t feel I’m compromising.
