Almost equality

I sold my $14k turntable setup and almost 500 albums over 3 years ago when my digital system surpassed vinyl. Will never go back to vinyl

Yeah, I'm truly satisfied with my Cambridge streamer getting fed by Qobuz and Idagio. It's also a treat to essentially "own" the record store. Then again, right now I'm truly enjoying an old (if slightly tick & poppy) Nonesuch pressing of Mahler's Third Symphony. Ah, the felicities of high-fi...

eccyn,

is that Mahler 3rd recording on Nonesuch by any chance with Jasha Horenstein?

The benchmark dac isn't that good, if you really want to elevate your digital side check out the Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary dac, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge on it and he said that the 10th anniversary dac sounded just as analog, and I bought the dac and I totally agree this is the best sound I've have in my system and just so you know what my system is it's worth about 60,000, Sim audio p8 preamp, Sim audio w8 amp, Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary dac, esoteric P10 transport, monarchy audio up sampler, power cords are all Harmonic technology pro 10 OCC single crystal wire, analog interconnects are HT magic top of the line balanced OCC single Crystal and the digital interconnects are HT Magic.

My digital is basically head to head with my analog now. Who knew, not me. As prentice said, it basically comes down to the quality of the recording now. The way it should be. Great recordings in both but usually different music. Best of both worlds, life is good after all.
