is an interview with Rob Darling from Roon. He talks a lot about his career as a recording engineer. Just over half way into the chat, he explains how even to this day, lots of producers still don't know how to get the best out of digital because they don't understand how different it is from analog tape. Have a listen from (as I said) just over half way where he talks about an album that was recorded in analog but had only one digital track on it and how the recording process had to change for that particular track only.

The 'in your face-ness' I'm talking about when I had my speakers set up in my bedroom is very similar to how Rob explains the mistakes made with digital recording. With this set up I get everything there is on the recording, good AND bad. Initially it's really great to hear things in the recording you had never heard before but after a while it get tiring. It's not the Devialet's fault for being so revealing but it is an issue you need to be aware of when purchasing a D (or speakers)

Haven‘t listened to Rob Darling‘s interview, will do that. Thanks for the link!

Sometimes I do feel tempted to put together a completely analog system, starting from a turntable to pre-/ power amp. And forget about all the discussion regarding DACs, filters, sample rate conversion, etc. But analog has its own problems, and re-building my audio library with vinyl just wouldn‘t be possible. There‘s no turning backwards from digital?
