Home Digital Drive

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

RE: What does really good digital sound like?

Really good digital should sound like good analog......

But it rarely does.....

It *is* possible to come very close, but it's a lot more difficult than a lot of us realize...... And a lot more difficult than it should be.......

I believe a major part of this issue is just taking RFI, an artifact of digital audio playback, very seriously. This includes isolation at the AC mains (isolation transformers) and at the DAC (optical cables)..... It's amazing how much digital audio improves with these measures being undertaken. (This is also why I always play vinyl with the CD source powered down.)
