No there isn't. You prefer the sound of analogue. That's fine. For example, many people like to listen to 24/96 vinyl rips on high-end (?) digital gear because it captures the euphonic distortions of vinyl replay very accurately. Nothing wrong with that - it's a taste choice. Too many people fall into the trap of believing that all "analogue" is intrinsically "better" - this despite the fact that what they are listening to often has "digital" in it somewhere. Bought any vinyl records recorded, mastered or cut in the last 20 years? Well recorded and mastered "digital" can sound better than vinyl. The converse can also be true. Now that recording engineers know how to operate and assess the digital chain properly (and it only took them 20 years!) there is no longer any basis to claim that digital always sounds inferior. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
