Zx2 + Andromedas felt very "analog" to me

Rip a vinyl to FLAC then compress to MP3 128kbps for maximum analog representation.

Cue the obligatory adding pops and other noises comment.

I think that is what a lot of people dream of, William. I know I do. After getting my hopes up reading about SACD and dashed after getting SACD (seems like the mastering is what mattered in the end) I am not all that hopeful. I do still fantasize. It would be interesting to hear about others experiences (like @philipmorgan 's).

Do you own the DAC3? I found DAC2 HGC the most unpleasant (and least analog-like) that I heard, bar none. Sell it and try one NAD C510 or M51, any Schiit Multibit, good NOS stuff (Metrum Jade or Adagio, Aqua La Scala if your budget can stretch to that)

Put your iPod on a fidget spinner and touch it with a pencil... pretend it's a record player.

CD Transport + Schiit Multibit + Tubes.
