They said the same thing about LPs and turntables.

And they were right about that.

That would be a fair and proper test.
Hey Thanks !
I agree about using current equipment. However, I'm not going to sink any more $$ into a spinner, but I may trade up my Lumin D2 for a stream/DAC (say a PS Audio DirectStream Sr.) and feed that with the DV-50s. I'm really wondering about the DV-50s as a transport ? I assume that the difference we heard was DAC related ? If not, I'll keep the DV-50s but only play it rarely. I don't have many (maybe any ) SACDs that don't exist on Tidal.
