The quality of the design and execution thereof are far more important
than whether a particular RF or audio system is "analog" or "digital".
I've participated in a number of professional listening projects over
the years. I've always been amused when people who profess to prefer
analog audio wind up favoring the digital systems in double blind tests.

Bob,
Point (2) is well taken. Back in the days of "vinyl" when I worked in small
market radio I could hear when a stylus was getting "edgy" (chipped or worn);
it had the same effect on me as a chalkboard screech. Thus I question how
much real advantage there is in most normal situations (especially since I'm
not a contester or serious DXer) of digital manipulation and its associated
artifacts versus the (at least to me) much easier to listen to audio of a
purely analog chain.
But then again, some folks might not even notice the difference (or at least
it might not bother them like it does me.) Guess this is one of
those "different strokes for different folks" HI HI!!
