Right - the vinyl guys have got turntables, motors, PSUs, plinths, platters, arms, carts and phono stages to play with and digital boys like me generally just have...erm....a CD player :( I think it's time that people who are serious about digital replay get serious about their kit :D Just as no self-respecting vinyl junkie would go and buy a "ready made" TT IMO to get the best out of digital involves choosing (at a minimum) a transport, DAC and digital IC. Advanced tweakers may then also consider upsamplers and/or jitter busters to go in there. Of course the fact that I have a separate transport, upsampler and DAC has nothing to do with promoting this way of doing things :D Seriously though, I think that if you're prepared to put the effort in the rewards of going the digital "separates" route will always be better than the ready made single box. At the very least it gives you at least some of the tweaking options that vinilistas have :lol: Michael.
