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?
That is great to hear @audio-b-dog and I’m very glad the problem is solved! yes try setting the gapless playback on. I just received Stravinsky’s Spring conducted by Solti on DECCA Pure Analog vinyl Haven’t played it yet. |
@audio-b-dog It’s available on Qobuz. I heard the LP is great. I only listened on streaming so far. No phono stage…lent mine to my buddy. |
