Vinyl reproduction in its entirety has a unique set of characteristics/distortions that overlay any other format type as to make them all sound like vinyl playback. It does not matter how the recording was done. Once the recording is in the vinyl format it will always sound like vinyl. This is something anyone who records vinyl to high resolution digital files will tell you. Whether or not this is good or bad is another issue for others to argue about.
Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
I know this is an hot button for many, but here goes... I like vinyl and have many albums from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I'm interested in some 80's and 90's albums - like U2, REM, Nirvana, but I wonder if they will sound any better than streaming since they were probably recored digitally.

@mojo771 Blusound is great but when I hooked it to my Holo Spring Dac it sounded much bigger and better. I like the Blusound by itself as well. I'm not completely convinced on spending huge money to upgrade a streamer. |
I read the review of the iFi Audio NEO Stream that @wsrrsw mentioned and one thing intrigued me. The support for direct optical connection, I currently run optical from my router to my Bluesound box with transceivers at each end to replace the 50 foot ethernet run I had. It made a big difference. Are there any other streamers out there that support direct optical? |
