congratulations on your new digital front end @signaforce
Like Linn always stated, even before there was such a thing as digital:
"Our first-ever product, the modular and upgradeable Sondek LP12, revolutionised the hi-fi industry by demonstrating the huge musical difference a superbly engineered turntable could make to any hi-fi system. Its demonstrable ability to extract more music from the grooves of a record than the standard of the day led to the step-change in doctrine that the source component in a system, and not the loudspeakers, mattered most."
"Are you Digital or Analogue?
Either way you have to get it right at the source. The more musical information you retrieve from the source, the better the sound.
Information lost at the source is lost forever. No matter how good the amplifiers or loudspeakers that follow, you can’t get back what has already been lost, so it’s essential you put the best source possible at the front of your system."
