Lack of believable physical presence from the instruments and voices in the room when playing music is a turn off for me personally.
As an example this despite the musical presentation does not do it for me: https://youtu.be/uNTDp7jX0Qg
It does not give me the sound I want. The instruments lack a believable presence to me.
Agree,
but it can be done using some care even with a MacBook playing from Spotify or Qobuz and a simple DAC.

I refuse to believe that digital is the problem with me. After all, I listened to music with great satisfaction for 10 years with a Naim CD3.5 CD player. At that time I also had an LP12/Lingo/Akito2. I liked analogue and digital equally. In my case, it's something else.

I would pick the Shure because of it’s more believable presence. Just my personal preference.
Not sure you can make a judgment on that youtube clip with no point of reference Beck.
I've experienced believable physical experiences with my setup but it wasnt in the room, the live broadcast(acoustic guitar) on the left channel sounded as if it was in my speaker with the Kremlin,does that count?
Why bother when two very trustworthy members of this forum have heard the Linn streamer and written pretty glowing reviews of it? A YouTube recording can be of dubious quality (at best). I trust the reviews of Teatime and David Neel.
You can buy a Tinkerboard S second hand for very little outlay and experience digital audio at very little cost. I read the negative comments on here about digital audio and shake my head.

I respect both members highly but trust preferably my own ears. Surely the Linn is a fine streamer at a high price. However, most certainly we get this year the same thrill at a much lower price point.
I agree completely with you about the quality of digital audio.

beck,
I looked for some digital recordings which hopefully meet your expectations :-)
Welcome beck :-)
BITW, I just compared some tracks from the Sound Liaison label on Youtube and Spotify,
Spotify is more musical and also better sounding.
Sorry for the OT posts.
