Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?

@newton_john roon sound quality has been an issue gor me for years. But dince the major update they deployed at end of April, it’s been more or less solid. 
I don’t use any upsampling or EQ features in Roon. The core runs on nucleus one. Like I said it’s been good for about a month and a half now.

Give jplay a try. Doesn’t need a computer to run on. I find sound quality with jplay to be excellent. Easy to configure. You'll be up and running in under 5min.

Keith Jarrett would likely tell you that no digital setup is as good as analogue/vinyl. But what does HE know?😆

I just wish he'd shut up and play! Nothing worse than a guy enjoying his day job. Too much emotion in the music, why can't he sound sterile like some of those other key hitters?

In the past couple of days, I’ve finally got my streaming setup sounding the way I want. The final piece of the jigsaw was taking out my Roon ROCK NUC and replacing it with a Windows NUC running dBpoweramp Asset, a UPnP server. In many ways that should have been a backwards step, yet it seems have given me the digital sound I’ve been craving for the past few years. Some of the difficult albums that sounded most harsh in places now sound great all the way through. Albums that I’d been underwhelmed by are now enjoyable. 

Interesting. And I have read somewhere the server makes zero difference in the sound. 

Good to hear! Is that with both Roon and a UPnP software?

I know, right?? A pianist, too! He can’t be all that good; he’s not even on Instagram.

And all those notes on the piano! Too hard to listen to. Why couldn't he just make a "song" the day Dua Lipa does it? It would be SO much easier to listen to. Hey, tell you what: lets just ignore him and hope he’ll go away! 

Duuudeeeee, as I already said before, what the hell does HE know?!?

I think you're talking about Keith Jarrett. If you are, listen to his album "Keith Jarrett/Charlie Hayden" and you'll hear songs the way I think you like them, but with ultimate minimalism and soul. Keith Jarrett has also recorded Bach. He's a master, or at least he was until he had his stroke.
