In Reply to: Does Anyone have experience of an AD/DA versus direct feed comparison ? posted by beppe61 on May 2, 2015 at 09:56:53:

Some years back, Michael Fremer of Sterophile, and the Analog Planet blog, posted some of his impressions of Channel-D's phono preamp that does Analog to Digital conversion and applies the RIAA filter in the digital domain before a final D to A conversion for listening. Link below.

He says in part, "...the sound wasn't exactly soft, warm, and romantic, but it was fundamentally accurate in terms of tonality and space, and its low-level resolution was remarkable. Did it sound "digital"? No, not as analog fanatics normally pejoratively use the word."

The comparison you'll be interested in pops up on page 3 of the review.

This is from 2010, so not the very latest in technology, of course.
