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’s pretty funny @audio-b-dog I’’m call them and ask them to cover the tarrifs charges I just got from FedEx for the replacement streaming card lets start with that lol Btw I remember you tried it from mesh and it didn’t work keep your ma3i connected to eero. If by now you’re not experiencing drop outs you should be good. |
@mclinnguy yeah the kronos table is pretty sick. Both the main and secondary systems were very cool |
Try Sonic Oracle to find new artists similar to ones you cherish, it works very well: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/i-built-what-tidal-and-qobuz-won-t-and-people-are-loving-it

@audio-b-dog the brief silence isn’t a big deal with gapless. Flipping a record creates a much bigger gap :) |
