Hi All, Great thoughts. I've been attached to both sides at one time or another. Now I do and love both. A recent experience really brought home to me the level of improvement that has taken place in the digital area. I ripped a large number of tracks from CDs that had been recorded well to MP3 at 320K. I put them on an external USB drive and fed it into my OPPO 83SE. Really amazing. I will have to try other formats and see how that works. One fault if you can call it that is the OPPO won't recognize some formats and only likes drives with FAT formatting. Still on a 500G to 1TB drive you can put a huge amount of music.

Good Listening
Bruce

Here's a related thread, with a couple good links that describe PCM (fixed width Nyquist) and Delta Sigma (one-bit oversampled bitstream) converters:
