Vinyl playback is an anachronistic luddite technology that never fails to surprise me. My digital streaming rig sounds amazingly good and clearly keeps me in many loops I'd otherwise not be exposed to (Trio X of Sweden...who knew?), but stick a licorice pizza on my trusty old Linn?...man...a very moving moving coil.
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
I've recently moved heavily into streaming and digital playback. That system's core is the Denafrips Terminator Plus DAC with an Innuos Zenith Mk 3 / Phoenix USB. Just added a LHY Audio SW-8 ethernet switch. Great cables all the way around. By most standards this is a reasonable mix of gear. I run the Innuos Sense App as it sounds better than Roon. Love the convenience of digital and infinite supply of tunes from Qobuz. My problem is this. My vinyl rig generally sounds better. Sometimes by a wide margin. Do others with both rigs have the same problem?
