I didn’t listen to streaming yesterday. Was spinning vinyl. I’ll listen tonight and see if it’s changed.
Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?
I have a good analogue front end. Not stratuspherically good but good enough for this comparison. VPI Prime Signature 21 turntable, Pass Labs XP-25 pono preamp, Pass Labs XP-30 preamp and Hovland Radia amp. It has a lovely, very involving sound. On the right recording, I just drop everythng and am drawn in to listen.
My streamer, on the other hand, is decent but not spectacular. It is better than my CD player, but it is not jaw-dropping like my analogue front-end. My question is this: does anyone have a high-end, tier-one streamer (dCS Bartok Apex, Lumin X2, or something like them) that can rival a good analogue system?

@audio-b-dog if it connected to mconnect then it should connect to jplay |
I agree, and when I figure out how to download Roon it should connect to that too. The Meitner is now plugged directly into the ATT fiber hub. As I think I've mentioned, I'm working on a book I've been working on for a very long time, and I must committ my mornings and early afternoons to doing that. I'll try downloading Roon tonight. I'm glad to have my streamer back. |
Thanks. I’m interested to find out what it’s sounding like for you. This is a game changer for me. I just got a stack of new vinyl because it was my birthday, but I’m more keen to explore all my old CD rips because they’re sounding like they never have before. They sound more like vinyl than vinyl, if that makes sense. I’ve put a lot of effort into tweaking digital over the past few months. I’ve been getting gradual improvements, but last night and today has been something else altogether - the icing on the cake. That and Sunderland getting into Europe has made this one special week.
