Sounds like a plan!
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?

To bookend Pharoah Sanders' Karma, you might try Alice Coltrane's "Journey in Satchidinanda." Pharoah Sanders has a smooth horn on that. Be prepared to chill for a while, though. And again, if you like it enough to buy a record, be careful on the reissues. There are a bunch of them, but only one AAA. |
@charles007100 just to be clear - I don’t have any dropouts. Never did. With same issues @audio-b-dog has experienced with his previous streamers, Moon and the older Meitner, the problem is not with a new DAC. It’s the network. |
