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

@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. 
The Spring I picked up is mint used copy. I could not find it in stock anywhere.

I'll listen to it. I listened to a young jazz singer named Gabrielle Cavassa whose album Diavola was reviewed by Stereophile. I like her a lot. She was kind of discovered by Joshua Redman who plays on a cut or two. Gapless didn't work. The next track became silent. Although there are a few choices on gapless I'll experiment with when I have the energy. Not tonight.

@audio-b-dog yep I tested gapless with Stravinsky no bueno with jplay. Hower it worked with Tidal Connect and should work with qobuz connect without a problem

the slight silence with jplay when gapless is not enabled isn’t ideal but it’s not the end of the world. You can try qobuz connect. 

My EMM Labs CDSA se is excellent. On the best SACD's the sound is perfect. Unfortunately it was never 'involving' like my analogue rig.

A few years ago Ed Meitner did an interview, At about the 20th minute he let something slip. It's in fact the chip manufacturers who are to blame. They refused to build the right kind of chip. Maybe one day that might change. 

Stop chasing the high. Digital is for listening to music. Analogue is for getting immersed in the music. Two completely different animals.

pretty tough to do even with DCS Scarlatti system. 

And that is just comparing to vinyl. If you go one step up and compare to high speed tape, then even the DCS plays 3rd fiddle.
