the sound goes from my stereo analog turntables, to a stereo analog mixer, to two channels on a interface that output digitally via a usb-c cable in stereo.

I think it is about as analog as possible and it sounds the same on my stereo, regardless whether i play the record players straight from the mixer through the receiver or if i play the digital stream you hear

on corny chat the sound quality is mono and not great (but very little lag on my side so that's nice).

on zap.stream, much better quality and it retains the left/right channels as a stereo split
