When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Nilthepill, I appreciate your comments.

My list of digital trials would be long, it goes back more than 25 years. The last serious attempt was a couple of years ago, a very expensive one box player sent to me by the importer.

It was not to my liking although a reviewer friend of mine bought one and it's still his digital reference.

I'm looking for a player that has resolution like analog but without the jitter and unpleasant high frequencies.

It seems to me that players fall on either side of a line. Either they throw away dynamics, detail, and resolution but coax out a sweet tonal balance with much of the warmth of analog.

Or, they get resolution, drive and dynamics but the upper mid and high frequencies drive me from the room.

Nilthepill Thanks for the testimony from yet another satisfied NOS player owner.

Muralman1 vs. Aplhifi.

Time to pop some popcorn. This ought to be fun.

Muralman1,

Great...more power to you! I am happy for you and I rest my case.

Best wishes for the Holiday Season!

Frank,

That is correct; clocking is very important, as well as transports, DACs, analog stage etc. It is really a synergy of everything, and same applies to analog and the complete audio system. So if you are happy with it, just smile and enjoy your favorite tunes. :-)

Best wishes,
