Thank you. And I assume it make a huge difference in sound quality?
Absolutely.
Improving the sound quality at the source always is the best place to start.
As an aside, as a marketing entrepreneur I am the exclusive US rep for very high end audio brands from Europe & Far East. At one time I represented Japanese vacuum tube amplifiers with a $350k top model.
I’ve also provided technical assistance to a critically acclaimed mastering engineer in his remastering of classic & iconic albums and received mastering credits on the albums.
