After years of being a Vinyl Junkie and Fan the day has come where my Digital gear out performs my Analog Rig. Hi -Rez playback with zero noise and FINALLY a 3D sound stage like vinyl. Over the years vinyl always had an edge in tonality, harmonics, meat on the bone and sound staging.
Well my Little Chickadees not any more. I can listen to a complete Classical piece or Opera without flipping LPs. The DAC and dedicated transport I use is very close to the LP, very close. The addition of the music server [ INNUOS] changed that.
As of today the server edges out any transport I have tried except the Aqua [ At 9K it should]. Ive also used a CEC TL01 and Ayon. The server is used mostly now. There are still some CDs that I prefer on Transport than server but narrowing.
