I’m not an audiophile, but many of them think that keeping all parts of the signal chain completely analog, regardless of the particular format, is more “pure” because apparently digitized audio misses information because of how it’s “sliced”. Technically this is true, but with a sufficiently high sampling rate, such as the Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem inspired rate of 44.1Khz, the original the signal can more or less be perfectly reproduced.
