Relevance is different for every one of us. I have no problem with digital. I have a huge CD and download collection. I enjoy it.You're obsessing about irrelevant things. You don't have to ask yourselves any of those questions. The bit depth/rates are much more than sufficient. Unlike all analog where the record is a narrow frame through which you hear music. It's a bottle-neck.
back on topic, this thread made me realise that some people have problems with digital in itself. Like, no matter how good it sounds, I don't want it because it's digital. I hate to see this as it leads to religious fundamentalist type of mind-set. As in kosher or such, like did it ever touch what is unholy and pagan or "is she a virgin or is she going to hell?". This is the wrong way to look at things. The very fact it had digital in the path shouldn't matter. Whatever improves sound gets priority.
Having said that, if MOFI stated that it's all analogue and it's not something that consumers simply implied, than they DID misinform buyers which I always hate.
My point is that I want to have confidence that an LP is all analog. It is a simple as that.
