+1 here. Streaming only. Spotify via Google Chromecast Audio connect over optical toslink to a motu avb ultralite then onto a integrated tube amp with bookshelves + sub. As modest as these specs are it sounds amazing (to me). Near ~ mid-field listening. Some day I plan to add a turntable but not in a hurry. I occasionally buy LPs for some of my favorite bands and have to go to a friend's house to listen. Always a good time. I enjoy sending tunes from my phone and have no interest in ditching Spotify. Maybe when it goes hires I'll consider a better streamer but it would have to support Spotify Connect.
How many of you are digital only systems?
I currently have an all digital setup, streaming and stored digital files and ripped CD’s on my Innuos Zen mkIII via Chord Qutest to a PrimaLuna EVO 400i. I have been contemplating adding analog to my system, like a Clearaudio concept table. I am NOT hear to debate which one is better, so please don’t turn it into that, I understand the differences. How many of you are digital only? If you listen to digital as well, please tell me why. Is it because of sonic qualities or just the nostalgic reasons of spinning vinyl. I just don’t know if I want a turntable because it would be new gear to play with or if I think it has sonic qualities that I am missing with digital. I would have to buy new vinyl as I really only have a few of my albums from when I was teenager in the 80’s. Maybe I should just put the money towards upgrading digital components, even though I love my Qutest/Zen combo, I could move up in their line?? Am I missing something truly special in the audio world if I’m all digital? Thanks for your thoughts
