The difference is how well they do it. If this wasn't important then anyone would be able to record/hear pure and perfect sound like the greatest studios in the world do with they're $10.000 soundcard, amplifier, etc. Every sound card converts digital to analog and analog to digital.

Another even more "pure" source of sound would be a reel to reel tape deck. Last I checked, quite a number of companies still press fresh vinyl records.

Audiophiles prefer to purify at each step to ensure as pure a sound hits their multi thousand dollar speakers as possible. If the stuff isnt pure before it hits your nice amps logically its going to amplify the trash too. The more you deviate from analog the more trash you add each step of the way with no decent ways to remove it.<br><br>No one makes vinyl records anymore and theyre one of the last sources of pure analog uncompressed sound [ besides live recording to something like FLAC. ] Once the sound is recoded and compressed/trashed to CD and worse yet to an MP3 its musical purity has suffered greatly. If your setup is nice and you start with good source material by the time it hits your expensive speakers the difference is like watching 1080 HDTV over low res standard TV.
