Actually today's digital sounds far better than anything in the past. Excellent DACs can be had for a fraction of something comparable just a few years ago. I ripped all my cds to a NAS drive and streaming them is actually enjoyable. I still have a nice analog front end and listen to records quite often, but the divide is much closer than ever.
