D to A Converters

I use an ADC manufactured by Schiit several years ago called the Jil.  It has been discontinued. 

I understand wanting to have access to music that is not available digitally in other rooms of the home but my own experiences with converting LPs to digital were filled with frustration.  I appreciate my analog setup because it minimizes a significant amount of the sonic artifacts that potentially can occur; however the digitizing process seems to magnify the detritus at the expense of the music.

   I listen to Classical, and when I was attempting to digitize many albums that sold poorly in their day and were not available digitally when I was attempting this.  Ultimately these albums were digitalized and the commercially available versions were far superior to the ones that I had painstakingly made

Just a general comment about album collecting versus streaming. When purchasing music was the only way, it began with surveying and then funneling down. filtering and eliminating until one found the highest value worth actually purchasing, since you could only own a few. Over time a few could be quite a few... I own 2,000 vinyl albums. But those albums do not represent the very best albums for me out of the millions of albums... they represent the ones I happened to find that were good enough. There are probably tens of thousands I would like better. 

So, enter high quality streaming. I found that I slowly let go of that search for the album to buy and my interests started broadening and the search for something to listen to over and over and over has disappeared. My horizon has broadened ten fold or more. The albums I have discovered have made me not want to go back an listen to the stuff I own (except occasionally) because they may not simply be as good in the broader picture or are  tarnished by overuse. If an album was not well mastered... I move on. 

Anyway, having access to streaming with as good or better than vinyl opens up the world and can the way you explore it may change to adapt to this access. Mine has. It just might be something to think about.
