Home Digital Drive

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

I agree. Unfortunately I see a distinct trend on this board to substitute silly numbers games for system matching and personal listening experiences. Some people are buying digital gear simply because it upsamples to higher numbers, which they assume is better. And hype on this board facilitates the nonsense.

Eliminating CD players from one's short list just because they don't have a 24/96 DAC or upsampling is ludicrous. Buying gear by the numbers without critical evaluation and comparisons in one's own system is not the audiophile way. Yet is seems to be common, especially with net commerce.
