The quest

I have a question that may or not be easy to answer: are all efforts to improve digital music just a quest to achieve the quality of sound of the good and old LP? I keep reading expressions like "an almost analog quality" and similar things. Is digital sound just a more convenient means to store and play music that one day may reach the sound qualities of LPs, or we can reasonably expect one day to hear a really more natural ("better") sound from digital sources?

Nonoise - there were good computer audio rooms at Newport for the past 2 years also. My own room at Newport in 2013 was rated by Stereophile (JA) as one of the best:

Steve, looks like I'm going to have to spend more time at your next room at the next show. :-)

All the best,

Steve, you didn't mention power supply? Is it not a basic for good digital?
