Agreed. At this level, people are just splitting hairs trying to differentiate sound when comparing gear, and then pronouncing one thing is better than another. While it might be true for them, someone else might prefer Plan B.

That sources is the important link was just a marketing tool initiated by Ivor Tifenbrun to sell his turntables which was the only product he produced at the time.

So, go cheap on the front end to conserve resources for amps and speakers ?

I would suggest that the important link is the weakest one you can control.

It seems to be constructed like the S5, rather than the monocoque of the S1 and S3.

You are kidding right? You listen to one medium while I have three in here. And that's a valid conclusion?

So if that's the case and the importance of the source is a myth, then why even bring your own software when auditioning equipment?

Digital (and yes that includes 4X DSD), LP and tape are all quite different sounding, believe me.
