And even the analog part is relitively deterministic and one dimensional compared to the mechanical converters in the audio system ?
Microphones and speakers and acoustics .( or pickups and turntables if one wants another mechanical thing in the audio chain ). With really skilled engineering you can defeat the analog problems to such low levels that it does not really influence much anymore . Take a good ADC and a good DAC you can most likely loop them 10 times trough each other without crossing the threshold of audibility . I think some sound engineer did , read a professional forum or blog years ago where someone cured his "gear anxiety" :) that must be the strain of audiophilia that can hit professionals. Yes even some people who should know better are of strange beliefs , you can probably find a lot these like in most professions. Professional only means you get paid to do it . It usually takes a skill and or training but you wonder sometimes . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
