Home Digital Drive

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

Hmm...

"I was not trying to be demeaning of vinyl in my comments of "snap, crackle, pop." I left vinyl about twenty years ago and probably have missed a lot of gorgeous sound in the interim. But no more, I think. Not now, since the Apollo."

While I have also discovered recently that CDs CAN be very enjoyable to listen to, I do have a problem with you saying that you don't miss vinyl after listening to the Apollo. I guess there is a bliss of ignorance, as they say, but not knowing what your analog setup was like twenty years ago, analog playback has come a LONG way and is much better for much less money. There is still something organic about good analog reproduction that digital doesn't really match. Again, I do think that standard red book CDs (where did that term come from, anyway?) can sound really good, but I still think the best of vinyl playback is more engaging and satisfying.

I'm not saying that you won't come up with a different opinion, but get yourself refamiliarized with what great analog can do.
