I'm not sure what evidence it is which would win your heart and mind. The strides which have been made in digital over the past few years are well documented by engineers, pro reviewers, and thousands of informed audiophiles. Spend some time with the forum thread and I linked to get an idea of what's out there these days and how shortcomings have been and continue to be overcome. Wondering, by the way, what the difference for you was many years ago when Transporter came along? Did you buy one and then discover how great it was (for the time)? Isn't that more or less what you'd expect to happen for yourself and others as new media servers, DACs and other related products are developed and introduced?
