Have digital players improved

Digital is improving rapidly and it will continue to improve for years to come. It seems some people don't like that.

As usual those who prefer vinyl will defend it as best and then act offended as if their opinion is what counts and is the only legitimate position. It is like how dare you even question the supremacy of vinyl, it's like questioning evolution. Vinyl is very good if well recorded. So is digital. They both sound bad if they aren't well recorded. However, in order to say vinyl is the best sounding format don't you have to also believe we have made no technological advances in recorded music in 50 years? Its like saying propeller aircraft are better than jets. I happily enjoy both while also loving the convenience and portability digital is capable of.

My Electrocompaniet EMC-1Up is still the best player I've heard for $2.5K used.
I'm on my 2nd one, this one has the spider clamp.
Maybe it's lasted because it's oversampling sounds so good, to me.
I'm too lazy to play LPs anymore. I admit it!
I sold my SOTA turntable years ago.
This is my Jet, and I won't own a source without a remote control.
What an excellent analogy!

Rockitman,,, Nice system, nice system link, thanks for inviting us into your room.
But by looking a your great analog rig and not seeing a CD player, I'm wondering if you had spent the same time and money on both formats that you might see things differently.

I have a memory transport, not a cd player. It plays up to 24/192 wav files burned on DVD-R... The PS Audio Perfect Wav System. While I have not spent nearly as much as on my analog rig, the PS Audio holds it's own as being one of the better digital playback system's available at any price. There are some great digital recordings. In the end though, my analog setup best's it by a good margin for delivering musical reality.
