Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.

skypunk,

"I was conversing with another member and not you."

You were doing it in an open Internet forum. Expect it to be read.

How does a person with so much expertise in bearings succeed to be unbearable? It must be hard work.

"...the shallow end of the pool, you know the end you hang out in."

This one?

Why does everything need to be polarized. Why do we have to pick one or the other.  Most of us can afford to have both digital and analog sources. Wouldn't you rather have 2 lovers than one?

Joke all you want, you know it's true, the standard is analog. Digital is for when
you just don't care that much that it sucks.

 I think you ruffled feathers with that one. Funny thing is that nearly every review I read on DACS, etc is how close they sound to analog. The same happened earlier when CD's were all the rage. They touted how close to the analog sound the CDP  came
Actually @skypunk is right on target. You don't have to like the truth but disagreement with it makes you wrong.
