Very interesting.
About a year ago I decided to take another run at digital.
Took me a LOT of time, money, energy plus frustration. I found I had to spend even more than I'd invested in my analog front end (several thousand) to get something that sounded like music to me out of digital. Also, it's totally hit/miss with music files - no way to know what will sound good and what's not even worth listening to. Plus, the only thing one can (legally) do with a purchased/unwanted music file is delete it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty happy with what I'm hearing now from the digital side of the system, but it's not been a "picnic" either.
