It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Seriously though although I'm not saying there are no audible difference between say plugging the phones into a laptop or using a high end head phone amp I would not sat the difference was large or of any real consequence...

Just a wee little bump.
Got a Meridian 206B here on my headphone rig. It's been 5 years since having one of these. My god, these old machines sound very open. This is no laid back CD Player!
