As I've said, I don't have a problem with downloads or streaming. I just don't have the time or inclination right now to do it right. As I posted a while back, I've heard streaming demos that sounded like dog shit. Yes, I know it can sound decent but that takes time and energy I don't have at the moment. Perhaps when I retire.
As for SACDs, despite the fact that they and the players are still being made, I guess I should throw then away because someone declared them dead.
FWIW, my SACD player accepts high resolution input so I can expand when I wish.

Thanks, Jack !You've hit the nail squarely on the head when you mention "Doing it right". I think there's a significant difference to digital done correctly as opposed just depending on the numbers. Resolution goes a lot further then what the raw data tells you there is.
I am "Retired" (I'm still trying to figure out exactly "What the Hell" that means;If it means I have even less "Disposeable Income" than I had when I was working then I'm "getting it")(I think whoever it was who came up with this term missed their calling in life to seek a career in Comedy)

One just has to scan the Computer Audio Asylum to see how much is involved.

As is sometimes said (but not from myself) "True Dat"Being a "Fellow Audio Component Guy" just remember you want to convert the signal from any USB path it goes through to a path that doesn't pass all the digital jitter through, It's Not Necessary to use this compromised means of moving the signal.
USB DACs are a "PC Guy" thing. Computers are fantastic audio processors but
mediocre Music players due to the fact they're not made to differentiate that playing music & making sound have the exact same requirements.
