The short answer is yes. All things being equal, even better soundstage than analog. As with any piece of equipment what you’ll hear is all relative to the design, quality and more often than not also the cost. Making a generalization of what sounds better, analog or digital depends on the equipment. Personally, I think that the point of diminishing returns is much lower for DACs and streamers than most other components.
Digital with same soundstage as analog
I have a modest setup, but the analog sounds good to me. Question, can I get the same soundstage with digital by adding a DAC or Streamer?
Current equipment is;
VPI Scout with Hana SL
Parasound A21
Vincent SA32 Preamp
Elac PPA2
Dyneaudio Emit 30
Oppo 83SE
room is conditioned floor to ceiling and approximately 12x24’
When I play SACD’s, the soundstage is no where near the analogue presence. Maybe it’s the SACD player that’s limiting my experience to go streaming.
Advice based on setup would be helpful
Thanks in advance
