Where's Digital playback at today ?

Bill, have you heard the Trinity DAC?

All of your responses are appreciated, thank you.

Haven't heard the Trinity.

Thanks
Bill

If you want an analog sound from digital, I can get you there, but it may be a bit more than $8K. The best route is computer audio, but I can also get you close using any CD transport, even the one you already use.

I typically get a best of show for my systems at every show I'm at, and this year was no exception at Newport and RMAF:

Bill Hobba knows my equipment, at least the Off-Ramp 4.

Several customers of mine have abandoned or sold their vinyl setups after getting my digital gear:

I can even help you make your vinyl setup sound a lot better at the same time. Just email me - see the website.

Well. I see my homework is cut out for me.
Virtually every single digital playback that I listened to had identifiable digital character and colourations that left me cold which ultimately forced me to abandon cd and sacd all together.
So ,ten years have passed and I am curious again about digital play back, how far has it actually advanced from a decade ago? And I'm sure it has.
The challenge what ever that I listen to in digital play back will be stiff, what my Lyra Olympus cartridge is pulling out of the record groove is revelatory.
