Stereo amplifiers have moved with the times. Today, they increasingly bolster their traditional analogue connections with digital ones, facilitated by the necessary DAC chip and all the other digital circuitry they require, in a bid to offer hi-fi owners greater flexibility in connecting today's digital equipment.
Even Rega, an amplifier manufacturer with a renowned purist ethos, has adopted digital in recent years, confident that it is now able to be implemented without overly detrimentally affecting the all-valuable cost/performance ratio.
