I bought a roon nucleus last year and have a sub to tidal. my pre/dac can do the first fold and if I finally understand this a dac inside my dsp speakers does the 2nd fold. I managed to get much of my library loaded into the hdd but still have several that are unavailable on tidal and my rega no longer can read. The jupiter was better than average in its day, but the last year or so it sounded to me like streaming sounded better, which when you consider all my digital goes thru the same dac makes me wonder if I can trust my ears and the reason I posed the question initially.
Are all red book cd transports created equal?
Quite simply the transport on my rega Jupiter is failing and I have an old pdr-19rw pioneer elite that has the same digital output. In theory bits are bits right? Should I swap them out or will the old unit sound as inferior as all those original cd’s did?
