Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Perhaps my children will show me

how to get excited about computer audio. I'm still dreaming in analogue and buying vinyl - and it's perennially satisfying, even though there's not much innovation with this technology.

Perhaps I'll set up a new bedroom system with C21 tech in mind but my issue has not really been with digital audio or new digital audio, as such. My concern is my (lack of) engagement with an HD, streaming service that meets my audiophile and musical needs, without breaking the bank (or boring the household to death). My residual impression is that a lot of streaming services are like interactive radio stations - with similar levels of fidelity (or discombobulated, über-manipulated sounds). This is, no doubt, breath-takingly inaccurate, but I seem to have more fun with vinyl and 'old digital' and, lately, even with cassettes (Sony Walkman Pro, Tandberg 440A).

I'll ask my son what he thinks.
