I often wonder whether that's an emotional response not necessarily based on listening experience as I often quote the fact that Linn seem happy to digitise their flagship LP12 turntable audio (which goes from about £4K to £50k) thru their DSM products (again, anywhere from £4K to £35K). Ok, we might accept that there's maybe a scale of how well that's done, but it does show it's not necessarily a "bad thing".
